Ἢ ὀδελὸν σιλφίου τῷ χαρακτηρικῷ κνηστῆρι, ἤγουν χαρακτῷ κατάτριψον, οἷον ξέσον, κόψον κνηστῆρι χαρακτῷ, μαχαίρᾳ φησὶ, σιλφίου τῆς ῥίζης τοῦ ὀποῦ ὀβολοὺς δύο καὶ τραγορίγανον, ἢ γάλα προσφάτως ἠμελγμένον· τραγορίγανον δ’ ἐστὶν ὄρειον, ὅπερ ἐσθίοντες οἱ τράγοι γίνονται κατωφερεῖς· διὸ οὕτως εἴρηται· αὐτὴ ἡ ῥίζα λέγεται σίλφιον, ὁ δὲ ταύτης ὀπὸς Κυρηναϊκὸς καλεῖται ὀπός.
