[κδ΄. Περὶ σκολύμου ῥίζης.] Σκολύμου ἡ ῥίζα πλῆθος οὔρων ἄγει δυσωδῶν, εἴ τις αὐτὴν ἐν οἴνῳ καθεψήσας πίνοι. καὶ διὰ τοῦτο καὶ τὰς δυσωδίας ἰᾶται τῶν τε μασχαλῶν καὶ ὅλου τοῦ σώματος. τοῦτο μὲν οὖν ὡς καθαρτικῷ τοιούτου χυμοῦ τῷ φαρμάκῳ καθ’ ὅλην ὑπάρχει τὴν οὐσίαν. ἡ δὲ κατὰ τὰς ποιότητας ἐνέργεια θερμὸν μὲν κατὰ τὴν δευτέραν τάξιν ἤδη πληρουμένην ἢ τρίτην ἀρχομένην ἐνδείκνυται τὸ φάρμακον, ξηρὸν δὲ κατὰ τὴν δευτέραν.
