δʹ. Οἱ περικυκλοῦντες ἄλιμα ἐπὶ ἠχοῦντι, οἵτινες ἄλιμα ἦν αὐτῶν τὰ σῖτα. Ἄλιμα βοτάνη τις ἐστὶν, ὥς φασι, ταχὺ πληροῦσα τὸν ἐσθίοντα. — Ἐπὶ ἠχοῦντι δὲ, τουτέστιν ἐπὶ φάραγξι καὶ πετρώδεσιν· εὔηχοι γὰρ οἱ τοιοῦτοι τόποι, καὶ ἀντηχοῦσι τοῖς φθεγγομένοις. Ἢ καὶ ἠχοῦντα λέγει τὸν ἀλσώδη τόπον ἐν ᾦπερ ἡ πνοὴ τῶν ἀνέμων, κινοῦσα τὴν ὕλην, ἦχον ἀποτελεῖ. Φησὶν οὖν ὅτι περιενόστουν οὗτοι τὰς ὕλας καὶ τὰς φάραγγας καὶ τοὺς τόπους παρ’ οὓς ὕδατα ῥέοντα ἠχεῖ τε καὶ κελαρύζει, ὑπὸ τῆς ἄγαν ἐνδείας, τὰς βοτάνας ἀνερευνώμενοι, καὶ τὰς ῥίζας τῶν ξύλων περιξέοντες εἰς τροφὴν [λιμοῦ] παραμυθίαν.
