Ἡ σύνταξις οὕτως· καὶ τὸ ἐπὶ τῷ λοιγήεντι τοξικῷ ἄχθος ἀμύνοις καὶ ἀποδιώξοις. Παρασχεδὸν ἀντὶ τοῦ παραχρῆμα, λείπει δὲ τὸ οὕτω, ἵν’ ᾖ· οὕτως ἀμύνοις καὶ διώξοις· τοξικὸν δὲ καλεῖται τὸ τοιοῦτον φάρμακον διὰ τὸ ὁμοίως τοῖς τοξεύμασιν ἀναιρεῖν παραχρῆμα βρωθὲν ἢ ποθὲν, ἢ ἐπεὶ οἱ Πάρθοι καὶ Σκύθαι τοξεύοντες τούτῳ παραχρίουσι τὰς τῶν βελῶν ἀκίδας· οὐ γὰρ, ὥς τινες, τὸ κώνειον νομιστέον· ἢ διότι ὁμοίως τόξου ἀφέσει ἀναιρεῖ βρωθὲν ἢ ποθὲν λέγεται ὑπό τινων Σκυθικόν· ἄλλοι δὲ λέγουσιν, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ αἵματος τῆς υδρας ἀνεφύη, τὴν δ’ ὕδραν ἀνεῖλεν ὁ Ἡρακλῆς, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο τοξικὸν καλεῖται
