Φύεται δὲ ὁ μὲν μέλας πανταχοῦ· καὶ γὰρ ἐν τῇ Βοιωτίᾳ καὶ ἐν Εὐβοίᾳ καὶ παρ᾿ ἄλλοις πολλοῖς· ἄριστος δὲ ὁ ἐκ τοῦ Ἑλικῶνος, καὶ ὅλως τὸ ὄρος εὐφάρμακον. ὁ δὲ λευκὸς ὀλιγαχοῦ· βέλτιστοι δὲ καὶ οἶς χρῶνται μάλιστα τέτταρες ὁ Οἰταῖος ὁ Ποντικὸς ὁ Ἐλεάτης ὁ Μαλιώτης. φασὶ δὲ τὸν Ἐλεάτην ἐν τοῖς ἀμπελῶσι φύεσθαι καὶ ποιεῖν τὸν οἶνον οὕτω διουρητικὸν ὥστε λαγαροὺς εἶναι πάνυ τοὺς πίνοντας.
