IV. Περὶ δὲ λιβανωτοῦ καὶ σμύρνης καὶ βαλσάμου καὶ εἴ τι τοιοῦτον ἕτερον ὅτι μὲν καὶ ἀπ᾿ ἐντομῆς γίνεται καὶ αὐτομάτως εἴρηται. ποία δὲ τις ἡ τῶν δένδρων φύσις καὶ εἴ τι περὶ τὴν γένεσιν ἢ τὴν συλλογὴν ἢ τῶν ἄλλων ἴδιον αὐτοῖς ὑπάρχει πειρατέον εἰπεῖν, ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ περὶ τῶν λοιπῶν εὐόσμων· σχεδὸν γὰρ τά γε πλεῖστα ἀπὸ τῶν τόπων ἐστὶ τῶν τε πρὸς μεσημβρίαν καὶ ἀνατολήν.
