[β΄. Περὶ βαλσάμου.] Βάλσαμον ξηραίνει καὶ θερμαίνει κατὰ τὴν δευτέραν ἀπόστασιν. ἔστι δὲ καὶ λεπτομερὲς ὡς ἀρωματίζειν. ὁ δὲ ὀπὸς αὐτοῦ λεπτομερεστέρας ἐστὶ δυνάμεως ἢ καὶ αὐτὸ τὸ φυτὸν, οὐ μὴν εἰς τοσοῦτόν γε θερμὸς, ὡς οἴονταί τινες, ὑπὸ τῆς λεπτομερείας ἐξαπατώμενοι. ὁ δὲ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ παραπλησίας μέν ἐστι κατὰ τὸ γένος δυνάμεως, ἀπολείπεται δὲ μακρὸν κατὰ τὸ λεπτομερές.
