λαμβάνουσι δὲ καὶ κατὰ τὰς ὀρεινὰς καὶ ἀνεμώδεις τὰ πρόσφορα ταῖς φυτείαις οἷον τούς τε γύρους ὀρύττοντες τοῖς καθεστῶσι πνεύμασι καὶ τὸ φυτὸν τιθέντες τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον ὅπως ἡ βλάστησις μὴ ἐναντία γίνηται τῷ πνεύματι, θραύεσθαι γὰρ ἐκείνως ἀνάγκη, μηδ᾽ ἔμπαλιν ὑπερπεσοῦσα παρὰ φύσιν αὔξηται· τούτων γάρ τι πάσχουσα χείρων ἡ ἄμπελος. ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ τὰ ἄλλα τὰ ἀκόλουθα πρὸς τὴν χώραν. τὰς μὲν οὖν φυτείας οὕτω καὶ διὰ ταῦτα ποιοῦνται.
