ἢ ἑρπύλλοιο: ἕρπυλλος εἴρηται παρὰ τὸ ἕρπειν αὐτοῦ τὰς ῥίζαςἐ πιπολύ· διὰ τοῦτο καὶ νομαῖον, διότι ἐπιπολύ νέμεται. δύο δὲ αὐτοῦ εἴδη· ὁ μέν ἐστιν ἥμερος, ὁ δὲ ἄγριος. ἔστι δὲ καὶ ὤκιμον μεταβάλλον ἐξαμελούμενον εἰς τὸν ἕρπυλλον. ἔστι δὲ πολύχυτον, πνευματῶδες. τῷ δὲ πνεῖν τρέπει τὰ θηρία. Ἢ νομαῖον εἴρηται, διότι πανταχόσε βάλλει ἑαυτοῦ τοὺς κλάδους, καὶ τὸ ἐπίθετον ὁμοφωνεῖ τῷ κυρίῳ. ἕρπυλλος γὰρ καλεῖται παρὰ τὸ ἕρπειν. [ἔνθεν καὶ νομαῖον παρὰ τὸ νομήν. φιλόζωος δὲ ὁ ἕρπυλλος G] ὡς κισσὸς δὲ ἀνθεῖ περὶ τὰ ἄλλα ἄνθη ἑλισσόμενος καὶ περιβοσκόμενος.
