Μετὰ δὲ τὴν ἀπάνθησιν ἁδρύνονται καὶ τελειοῦνται πυρὸς μὲν καὶ κριθὴ τετταρακοσταῖα μάλιστα· παραπλησίως δὲ καὶ τίφη καὶ τἆλλα τὰ τοιαῦτα. τετταρακοσταῖον δέ φασι καὶ τὸν κύαμον, ὥστε ἐν ἴσαις ἀνθεῖν καὶ τελειοῦσθαι· τὰ δ᾿ ἄλλα ἐν ἐλάττοσιν· ἐλαχίσταις δὲ ὁ ἐρέβινθος, εἴπερ ἀπὸ τῆς σπορᾶς ἐν τετταράκοντα τελειοῦται ταῖς ἀπάσαις ὥσπερ τινές φασιν· ἐπεὶ τό γ᾿ ὅλον ὅτι τάχιστα φανερόν. οἱ δὲ κέγχροι καὶ τὰ σήσαμα καὶ οἱ μέλινοι καὶ ὅλως τὰ θερινὶ σχεδὸν ὁμολογεῖται τάς τεττσράκονθ᾿ ἡμέρας λαμβάνειν· οἱ δέ φασι καὶ ἐλάττους.
