[ιγ΄. Περὶ τριφύλλου.] Τρίφυλλον, οἱ δὲ ἀσφάλτιον, οἱ δ’ ὀξύφυλλον, ἔνιοι δὲ μινυανθὲς, εἰσὶ δ’ οἳ κνίκιον ὀνομάζουσιν· ἀπὸ μὲν τῶν συμβεβηκότων τῷ θάμνῳ τὰ πρῶτα τρία, τὰ δὲ ὑπόλοιπα δύο οὐκ οἶδ’ ὁπόθεν. ἔστι δὲ ἡ δύναμις τοῦ φυτοῦ θερμὴ καὶ ξηρὰ κατὰ τὴν ἄσφαλτον, ᾗ παραπλήσιόν ἐστι κατὰ τὴν ὀσμὴν, τῆς τρίτης τάξεως κατ’ ἄμφω. καὶ διὰ τοῦτο πινόμενον καὶ πλευρῶν ἀλγήματα ἐπ’ ἐμφράξεσιν ὀνίνησι καὶ οὖρα κινεῖ καὶ καταμήνια.
