[η΄. Περὶ σερίφου.] Σέριφον. εἴρηται μὲν περὶ τούτου κατὰ τὸ ἕκτον βιβλίον ἐν τῷ περὶ ἀψινθίου λόγῳ. παραπλήσιον μὲν γάρ ἐστιν ἀψινθίῳ κατὰ τὴν ἰδέαν καὶ τὴν γεῦσιν, ὅμως μὴν διαλλάττει, κατὰ μὲν τὴν γεῦσιν τῷ μήθ’ ὁμοίως ἐκείνῳ στύφειν καὶ μᾶλλον θερμαίνειν τε καὶ πικράζειν μετά τινος ἁλυκότητος· ἐν δὲ τῇ δυνάμει τῷ κακοστόμαχον εἶναι καὶ μᾶλλον ἀψινθίου κτείνειν ἕλμινθας, ἔξωθέν τε ἐπιτιθέμενον καὶ εἴσω τοῦ σώματος λαμβανόμενον. καὶ δὴ καὶ θερμαίνειν μὲν ἐκ τῆς δευτέρας τάξεως ἐπιτεταμένης θετέον αὐτὸ, ξηραίνειν δὲ κατὰ τὴν τρίτην.
