Eτ δὲ ἄλλο πρὸς ἄλλο καὶ ἐν ἄλλῳ ἀσαπές. οἶον πτελέα μὲν ἐν τῷ ἀέρι, δρῦς δὲ κατορυττομένη καὶ ἐν τῷ ὕδατι καταβρεχομένη· δοκεῖ γἀρ ὅλως ἀσαπὲς εἶναι· ὄἰ ὃ καὶ εἰς τοὺς ποταμοὺς καὶ εἰς τὰς λίμνας ἐκ τούτων ναυπηγοῦσιν· ἐν δὲ τῇ θαλάττῃ σήπεται. τὰ δὲ ἄλλα διαμένει μᾶλλον, ὅπερ καὶ εὔλογον, ταριχευόμενα τῇ ἄλμῃ.
