Γλυκεῖα δὲ καὶ ἡ Σκυθική· καὶ ἔνιοι δὲ καλοῦσιν εὐθὺς γλυκεῖαν αὐτήν· γίνεται δὲ περὶ τὴν Μαιῶτιν· χρησίμη δὲ πρός τε τὰ ἄσθματα καὶ πρὸς τὴν βῆχα ξηρὰν καὶ ὅλως τοὺς περὶ τὸν θώρακα πόνους· ἔτι δὲ πρὸς τὰ ἕλκη ἐν μέλιτι· δύναται δὲ καὶ τὴν δίψαν παύειν, ἐάν τις ἐν τῷ στόματι ἔχῃ· δι᾿ ὃ ταύτῃ τε καὶ τῇ ἱππάκῇ διάγειν φασὶ τοὺς Σκύθας ἡμέρας καὶ ἕνδεκα καὶ δώδεκα.
