[λη΄. Περὶ πτελέας.] Πτελέας τοῖς φύλλοις ἐκολλήσαμέν ποτε πρόσφατον τραῦμα, θαῤῥήσαντες τῷ στυπτικήν τε ἅμα καὶ ῥυπτικὴν δύναμιν ἐμφέρεσθαι αὐτοῖς. ὁ δὲ φλοιὸς ἔτι καὶ μᾶλλον ὑπόπικρός τέ ἐστι καὶ στυπτικὸς, ὥστε καὶ λέπραν ἰᾶται σὺν ὄξει καὶ χλωρὸς δὲ ὢν ἔτι καὶ πρόσφατος, ἐὰν ὡς ἐπίδεσμος περιελιχθῇ τοῖς τραύμασιν, κολλᾷν αὐτὰ δύναται. καὶ αἱ ῥίζαι δὲ τῆς αὐτῆς εἰσι δυνάμεως, ὥστε καὶ τῷ ἀφεψήματι καταντλοῦσίν τινες, ὅσα πωρώσεως δεῖται κατάγματα.
