Πάντων δὲ ἰδιώτατον εἶναι δοκεῖ τῶν κατὰ τὰς θεραπείας οἱ ἅλες οἱ τοῖς φοίνιξι παραβαλλόμενοι, καὶ γὰρ πρὸς εὐβλαστίαν καὶ πρὸς εὐκαρπίαν χρήσιμοι· ἐπεὶ ὅσα γε πρὸς ἰατρείαν τινὰ τῶν τοιούτων ἢ φυλακὴν οὐδὲν ἄτοπον οἷον ἡ τέφρα ταῖς τε συκαῖς καὶ τῷ πηγάνῳ πρὸς τὸ μὴ σκωληκοῦσθαι μηδὲ σήπεσθαι τὰς ῥίζας· βοηθεῖ γὰρ καταξηραίνουσα.
