ἄνθεσι δὲ χαλκοῦ ἀντὶ τοῦ χαλκάνθῳ, ἣν νῦν φασι καλακάνθην. ἄνθεος δέ ἐστιν χαλκοῦ τι γένος γινόμενον, ἐν οἷς ὁ χαλκὸς χωνεύεται καὶ καθίεται, πελιδνόν τε καὶ μᾶλλον ἔχον ἔγκιρρον τὴν πελιδνότητα· μικρὸν δὲ καὶ στρογγύλον καὶ παραπλήσιον τῷ σπέρματι τοῦ νάπυος· καὶ ἴσως τούτου μέμνηται ὁ Νίκανδρος. γράφεται δὲ καὶ ἄνθεσι χαλκης. οὕτως καὶ παρὰ Νουμηνίῳ, ῥέθεσίν γε μὲν εἴδετ’ ἐπ’ ἰχώρ ἠερόεις· τοτὲ δ’ αὖ μολίβῳ ἐναλίγκιον εἶδος ἀμφί ἑ κυδαίνει χάλκῃ ἴσον. ἔστι δὲ ἡ χάλκη ἄνθος, ἀφ’ οὗ καὶ τὴν πορφύραν ὠνόμασαν. ὁμοίως τὸ ἐμφερὲς τὸ ἐν τῇ Ἡρακλείᾳ, φολὶς δ’ ἀπέλαμπε φαεινή· ἄλλοτε μὲν κυανοῦ, τοτὲ δ’ ἄνθεσιν εἴσατο χαλκοῦ.
