[στ΄. Περὶ ῥοδίας ῥίζης.] Ῥοδία ῥίζα ἡ ἐν Μακεδονίᾳ γεννωμένη λεπτομεροῦς ἐστι καὶ διαφορητικῆς δυνάμεως. ἐν δὲ τῷ θερμαίνειν κατὰ τὴν δευτέραν που θετέον ἀπόστασιν αὐτὴν, ἢ καὶ τὴν τρίτην ἀρχομένην. [ζ΄. Περὶ ῥοδοδάφνης.] Ῥοδοδάφνη κατὰ μὲν τὴν ὅλην οὐσίαν δηλητήριός ἐστιν οὐκ ἀνθρώπων μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν πλείστων βοσκημάτων, κατὰ δὲ τὴν κρᾶσιν τῆς τρίτης μέν ἐστι κράσεως τῶν θερμαινόντων ἀρχομένης, τῆς πρώτης δὲ τῶν ξηραινόντων.
