Λοιπὰ δὲ καὶ ὥσπερ ἀντικείμενα τοῖς περὶ τὰ δένδρα τὰ περὶ τὴν ψιλὴν γεωργίαν ἐστίν· ἐνταῦθα δὲ ἥ τε τῆς γῆς κατεργασία καὶ ἡ τῶν σπόρων ὥρα καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα σπαρέντων κατεργασία, πρότερον δ᾽ ἔτι τούτων ἢ καὶ ἅμα τὴν οἰκείαν ἑκάστῳ σπέρματι ἰδεῖν ὥσπερ καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν δένδρων. ἔστι δὲ καὶ κατὰ τὰς ἐργασίας τὸ οἰκεῖον, οἱονεὶ τὴν μὲν θέρους τὴν δὲ χειμῶνος νεᾷν ἢ σκάπτειν ἤ τι τοιοῦτον ἕτερον, ἅπερ ἐπιχειροῦσί τινες διαιρεῖν.
