[β΄. Περὶ ὕδνου.] Ὕδνα πᾶσι γνώριμα γεωδεστέραν οὐσίαν ἐπικρατοῦσαν, ἐν τῇ συστάσει κέκτηται βραχέος τινὸς αὐτῇ μεμιγμένου τοῦ λεπτομεροῦς. [γ΄. Περὶ ὑδροπεπέρεως.] Ὑδροπέπερι κέκληται μὲν ἀπὸ τῶν χωρίων ἐν οἷς φύεται καὶ τῆς κατὰ τὴν γεῦσιν ὁμοιότητος πρὸς τὸ πέπερι. ἔστι δὲ θερμὸν, ἀλλ’ οὐκ εἰς ὅσον πέπερι καὶ μέντοι καὶ χλωρὸν ἔτι τὸ βοτάνιον, ἅμα τῷ καρπῷ καταπλασθὲν, ὑπώπιά τε καὶ τοὺς σκιῤῥουμένους ὄγκους διαφορεῖ.
