φασὶ δὲ καὶ τὴν ἐλάτην φλοισθεῖσαν ὑπὸ τὴν βλάστησιν ἀσαπῆ διαμένειν ἐν τῷ ὕδατι· φανερὸν δὲ γενέσθαι ἐν Φενεῷ τῆς Ἀρκαδίας, ὅτε αὐτοῖς ἐλιμνώθη τὸ πεδίον φραχθέντος τοῦ βερέθρου· τότε γὰρ τς γεφύρας ποιοῦντες ἐλατίνας καί, ὅταν ἐπαναβαίνῃ τὸ ὕδωρ, ἄλλην καὶ ἄλλην ἐφιστάντες, ὡς ἐρράγη καὶ ἀπῆλθε, πάντα εὑρεθῆναι τὰ ξύλα ἀσαπῆ. τοῦτο μὲν οὖν ἐκ συμπτώματος.
