[δ΄. Περὶ μανδραγόρας.] Μανδραγόρας ἐπικρατοῦσαν μὲν ἔχει τὴν ψυκτικὴν δύναμιν, ὡς τῆς τρίτης εἶναι τῶν ψυχόντων τάξεως. οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ καὶ θερμότητός τινος μετέχει καὶ κατά γε τὰ μῆλα καὶ ὑγρότητος, ὅθεν καὶ κωματώδη τὴν δύναμίν ἐστι ταῦτα. τῆς ῥίζης δ’ ὁ φλοιὸς ἰσχυρότατος ὢν οὐ ψύχει μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ ξηραίνει, τὸ δ’ ἄλλο τὸ ἔνδον ἀσθενὲς ὑπάρχει.
