διόπερ ἐκεῖνος ὁ λόγος πιθανώτερος ὁ παρὰ τῶν ἀναπλευσάντων ἐξ Ἡρώων πόλεως· ἐπεὶ καὶ τὸ ὑπὲρ Σάρδεων πεφυκὸς τοῦ λιβανωτοῦ δένδρον ἐν ἱερῷ τινι δαφνοειδὲς ἔχει τὸ φύλλον, εἴ τι δεῖ σταθμᾶσθαι τοῦτο· ὁ λιβανωτὸς δ᾿ ἔχει, καὶ ὁ ἐκ τοῦ στελέχους καὶ ὁ ἐκ τῶν ἀκρεμόνων, ὁμοίως καὶ τῇ ὄψει καὶ τῇ ὀσμῇ θυμιώμενος τῷ ἄλλῳ λιβανωτῷ. πέφυκε δὲ τοῦτο μόνον τὸ δένδρον οὐδεμιᾶς τυγχάνειν θεραπείας.
