[ιη΄. Περὶ ἐρεβίνθου ἀγρίου.] Ἐρέβινθος ἄγριος ἰσχυρότερος εἰς πάντα τοῦ ἡμέρου, τοῦτ’ ἔστι θερμότερός τε καὶ ξηραντικώτερος, ὅσον περ καὶ δριμύτερός τέ ἐστι καὶ πικρότερος. [ιθ΄. Περὶ ἐρείκης.] Ἐρείκη διαφορητικῆς ἐστι δυνάμεως. τῷ δ’ ἄνθει μάλιστα καὶ τοῖς φύλλοις αὐτῆς χρηστέον. [κ΄. Περὶ ἑρπύλλου.] Ἕρπυλλος θερμαντικῆς εἰς τοσοῦτόν ἐστι δυνάμεως, ὡς καταμήνιά τε καὶ οὖρα κινεῖν. ἔστι δὲ καὶ πρὸς τὴν γεῦσιν ἱκανῶς δριμύς.
