φαίνεται γὰρ ἅπαντα τὴν οἰκείαν ἀναμένειν τελείωσιν, ἀβλαστῆ τε τέως καὶ ἀκίνητα ὄντα ὁμοίως δένδρα καὶ ὑλήματα καὶ ποιώδη· φανερώτατον γὰρ τοῦτ᾽ ἐν τοῖς ἀγρίοις ἐν οἷς δὴ καὶ ἡ γένεσις αὐτοφυὴς καὶ ἄνευ παρασκευῆς. πάντα δ᾽ ὡς εἰπεῖν ἢ τά γε πλεῖστα τῶν μετοπωρινῶν ἐν τοῖς ὑλήμασι καὶ τοῖς φρυγανικοῖς καὶ ποιώδεσίν ἐστιν· ἐπεὶ δένδρον γε οὐδὲν πλὴν εἰ μή τι κατὰ τὴν ἐπιβλάστησιν· ἐπιβλαστάνει γὰρ ἔνια μετ᾽ ἀρκτοῦρον.
