τὸ δὲ σπείρῃ λεπτύνονται ἀντὶ τοῦ ἢ τραχύνονται ἢ λευκαίνονται· ἀφ’ οὗ καὶ ἡ ἐν τοῖς σώμασι παρὰ φύσιν λευκότης καλεῖται λέπρα. ὁ δὲ λόγος, πολλοὶ δὲ ἐνδιατρίβοντες ἐν τῇ ἄμμῳ ὑπολευκαίνονται τὴν σπεῖραν, ἀλινδόμενοι καὶ κυλιόμενοι ταῖς ἄμμοις. ἄμαθος δὲ ἡ χερσαία κόνις Ὅμηρος δὲ (Il. I 385) διαστέλλει, οὐδ’ εἴ μοι τόσα δοίη, ὅσα ψάμαθός τε κόνις τε. ἀπὸ δὲ τούτου ποιεῖται τὴν τῶν ζῴων ἐξαρίθμησιν καὶ τὰ ἰδιώματα τῶν πληγῶν καὶ τὰ συμβαίνοντα πάθη τοῖς ὑπὸ τῶν ἑρπετῶν πληγεῖσιν, ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῆς ἀσπίδος.
