ἐπεὶ καὶ τὰ δοκοῦντα δικαρπεῖν μηλεῶν τέ τινα γένη καὶ ἀπίων ἐν τούτοις μάλιστα γίνεται τοῖς τόποις ἅτε παρεκτεινούσης ἐπὶ πολὺ τῆς ὥρας. καὶ ταχὺ τῶν προτέρων ἀφαιρουμένων ἃ μὴ πρωϊκαρπεῖ ὅμως διφορεῖ. θᾶττον γὰρ πάλιν ἀναπληροῦνται καὶ κυΐσκονται, δι᾽ ὃ᾽ καὶ χρῶνταί τινες αὐτῷ τῶν πρὸς τὴν ἀγορὰν βλεπόντων. οὐ μὴν ἀλλ᾽ οὐδέν γε ὡς εἰπεῖν τῶν δικαρπούντων ὅμοιον γίνεται τοῖς ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ὁρμὴν μόνον τοῦ φυτοῦ λαμβάνοντος, οὐ συνεκτελέσαντος δὲ τοῦ ἡλίου καὶ τοῦ ἀέρος.
