Τὸ δορύκνιον, ὃ καὶ μελισσόφυλλον καλεῖται, ἀγρία βοτάνη ἐστίν· αὕτη κοπτομένη ὀπὸν ἀποστάζει ὅμοιον γάλακτι τὴν θέαν καὶ τὴν γεῦσιν καὶ τὴν ὀσμὴν, ὅθεν καὶ δυσδιάκριτόν ἐστι τῷ πίνοντι, πότερον γάλα ἐστὶν, ἢ οὔ. Δημοφῶν δ’ ἐτυμολογῶν φησιν οὕτω κεκλῆσθαι διὰ τὸ δόρατι αὐτὸν ἴσον εἶναι κατὰ τὴν ἀναίρεσιν, Λυσίμαχος δ’ ὁ Ἱπποκράτειος διὰ τὸ ξύλον εἶναι κνίφης παρασκευαστικὸν τοῖς προςενεγκαμένοις.
