Ἄλλοι δέ τινες τὸ μὲν τοῦ λιβανωτοῦ δένδρον ὅμοιον εἶναί φασι σχίνῳ καὶ τὸν καρπὸν ταῖς σχινίσι φύλλον δὲ ὑπέρυθρον· εἶναι δὲ τὸν μὲν ἐκ τῶν νέων λιβανωτὸν λευκότερον καὶ ἀοδμότερον, τὸν δ᾿ ἐκ τῶν παρηκμακότων ξανθότερον καὶ εὐοσμότερον· τὸ δὲ τῆς σμύρνης ὅμοιον τῇ τερμίνθῳ, τραχύτερον δὲ καὶ ἀκανθωδέστερον, φύλλον δὲ μικρῷ στρογγυλότερον, τῇ δὲ γεύσει διαμασωμένοις ὅμοιον τῷ τῆς τερμίνθου· εἶναι δὲ καὶ τούτων τὰ παρηκμακότα εὐοσμότερα.
