Τὸ δὲ ὀρεοσέλινον μείζους ἔτι διαφορὰς ἔχει· τὸ μὲν γὰρ φύλλον ἔοικε κωνείῳ, ῥίζα δὲ λεπτή, τὸν δὲ καρπὸν ἔχει καθάπερ ἄνηθον πλὴν ἐλάττω· διδόασι δὲ τοῦτον ἐν οἴνῳ αὐστηρῷ τῶν γυναικείων χάριν. Ἔνια δὲ ὅλως ἀσύμβλητα τοῖς ἡμέροις ἐστὶ κατά γε τοὺς χυλοὺς καὶ τὰς δυνάμεις, ὥσπερ σίκυος ὅ τε ἄγριος καὶ ὁ ἥμερος, ἀλλ᾿ ἐκ τῆς προσόψεως ἔχει τὴν ὁμοιότητα, καθάπερ καὶ ἐν τοῖς στεφανώμασιν ἡ ἰωνία· τὸ γὰρ φύλλον ἔχει παρόμοιον. τούτων μὲν οὖν ἐν τοῖς εἰρημένοις αἱ διαφοραί.
