10. Ἡ κεφαλὴ καὶ αὕτη τὰς ἀδένας ἔχει, τὸν ἐγκέφαλον ἴκελον ἀδένι· ἐγκέφαλος γὰρ καὶ λευκὸς καὶ ψαφαρὸς, ὅκως περ καὶ ἀδένες, καὶ ταὐτὰ ἀγαθὰ τῇσιν ἀδέσι ποιεῖ τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐοῦσαν, διὰ τὰ εἰρημένα μοι, τιμωρέων ὁ ἐγκέφαλος ἀποστερέει τὴν ὑγρασίην, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς ἐσχατιὰς ἔξω ἀποστέλλει τὸ πλέον ἀπὸ τῶν ῥοῶν. Μείζων δ’ ὁ ἐγκέφαλος τῶν ἄλλων ἀδένων, καὶ αἱ τρίχες μείζους ἢ αἱ ἄλλαι τρίχες· μείζων τε γὰρ ὁ ἐγκέφαλος καὶ ἐν εὐρυχωρίῃ κέεται τῇ κεφαλῇ.
