Τῶν δ᾿ ἀνθῶν τὰ μὲν ἐκ φλοιοῦ καὶ φλεβὸς καὶ σαρκός, ??τὰ δ᾿ ἐκ σαρκὸς̣? μόνον, οἷον τὰ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἄρων. Ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν καρπῶν· οἱ μὲν γὰρ ἐκ σαρκὸς καὶ ἰνός, οἱ δὲ ἐκ σαρκὸς μόνον, οἱ δὲ καὶ ἐκ δέρματος σύγκεινται· τὸ δὲ ὑγρὸν ἀκολουθεῖ καὶ τούτοις. ἐκ σαρκὸς μὲν καὶ ἰνὸς ὁ τῶν κοκκυμήλων καὶ σικύων, ἐξ ἰνὸς δὲ καὶ δέρματος ὁ τῶν συκαμίνων καὶ τῆς ῥόας. ἄλλοι δὲ κατ᾿ ἄλλον τρόπον μεμερισμένοι. πάντων δὲ ὡς εἰπεῖν τὸ μὲν ἔξω φλοιὸς τὸ δ᾿ ἐντὸς σὰρξ τῶν δὲ καὶ πυρήν.)
