Αὕτη δ᾿ ἀρίστη ἐν Ἰλλυριοῖς, οὐκ ἐν τῇ πρὸς θάλατταν χώρᾳ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐν τῇ ἀνακεχωρηκυίᾳ κειμένῃ δὲ μᾶλλον πρὸς ἄρκτον. τόποι δὲ τόπων διαφέρουσιν ἐν οἷς ἀμείνων· ἐργασία δὲ περὶ αὐτὴν οὐδεμία πλὴν τοῦ περικαθήραντα ἀναξηρᾶναι. Τὰ γὰρ ἐν τῇ Θράκῃ φυόμενα ῥιζία, καθάπερ τό τε τῇ νάρδῳ προσεμφερῆ τὴν ὀσμὴν ἔχον καὶ ἕτερ᾿ ἄττα, μικράν τινα καὶ ἀσθενῆ τὴν εὐωδίαν ἔχει. καὶ περὶ μὲν τῶν εὐόσμων ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον εἰρήσθω.
