Ἀνὰ λόγον δὲ ἔχει καὶ ἡ κόπρισις τοῖς σπόροις πρὸς τὰς χώρας· νειὸς δ᾿ ἀμείνων ἡ χειμέριος τῆς ἐαρινῆς. ἐνιαχοῦ δὲ οὐ ξυμφέρειν βαθεῖαν ἀροτριᾶν, ὥσπερ καὶ ἐν Συρίᾳ, δι᾿ ὃ μικροῖς ἀρότροις χρῶνται. παρ᾿ ἄλλοις δὲ τὸ λίαν ἐξεργάζεσθαι βλάπτει, καθάπερ ἐν Σικελίᾳ, δι᾿ ὃ καὶ τῶν ξένων ὡς ἔοικε πολλοὶ διαμαρτάνουσι. πάντα μὲν οὖν πρὸς τὰς χώρας.
