XIV. Νοσήματα δὲ τοῖς μὲν ἀγρίοις οὔ φασι ξυμβαίνειν ὑφ’ ὧν ἀναιροῦνται, φαύλως δὲ διατίθεσθαι καὶ μάλιστα ἐπιδήλως ὅταν χαλαζοκοπηθῇ ἢ βλαστάνειν μέλλοντα ἡ ἀρχόμενα ἡ ἀνθοῦντα, καὶ ὅταν ἡ πνεῦμα ψυχρὸν ἡ θερμὸν ἐπιγένηται κατὰ τούτους τοὺς καιρούς. ὑπὸ δὲ τῶν ὡραίων χειμώνων οὐδὲ ἂν ὑπερβάλλοντες ὦσιν οὐδὲν πάσχειν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ξυμφέρειν πᾶσι χειμασθῆναι· μὴ χειμασθέντα γὰρ κακοβλαστότερα γίνεσθαι.
