ἔνιοι δὲ ὅλως πρωῒ πάσας κελεύουσιν ὥσπερ εἴπομεν ὅτι παχύτερόν τε τὸ κλῆμα γίνεται καὶ ἀμβλωπεῖς οὐκ ἔσονται καὶ ἐν εὐδίᾳ συμβήσεται τὰς τομὰς ἐπιξηραίνεσθαι· πάντα δὲ ταῦτα συμφέρει. χειμῶνος μὲν γὰρ οἱ πολλοὶ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν ἀπόλλυνται ῥίγει καὶ ἡ τομὴ βίᾳ ξηραινομένη ῥήγνυται, τοῦ δὲ ἔαρος ῥεῖ τό τε δάκρυον καὶ ἀμβλωπεῖς ἐπιγίνονται πολλαί.
