[β΄. Περὶ τεύτλου.] Τεῦτλον νιτρώδους τινὸς μετείληφε δυνάμεως, ᾗ καὶ ῥύπτει καὶ διαφορεῖ καὶ διὰ ῥινῶν καθαίρει. ἑψηθὲν δὲ τὸ μὲν νιτρῶδές τε καὶ δριμὺ πᾶν ἀποτίθεται, γίγνεται δ’ ἀφλεγμάντου δυνάμεως καὶ ἀτρέμα διαφορητικῆς. ἰσχυρότερον δ’ εἴς τε τὸ ῥύπτειν καὶ διαφορεῖν ἐστι τὸ λευκὸν τεῦτλον, ὡς τό γε μέλαν ἔχει τι καὶ στύψεως καὶ μᾶλλον κατὰ τὴν ῥίζαν ἤπερ τὰ ἄλλα μόρια.
