ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἐλαῶν αἱ κάμπαι καὶ ἐφ᾽ ὧν ἄλλα ἐγγίνεται ζῶα περὶ τὴν βλάστησιν ἢ τὴν ἄνθησιν ἢ καὶ ὕστερον· πάντα γὰρ ἐκ παραπλησίας αἰτίας ἐστὶ συνιστάμενα. τῇ δ᾽ ἀμπέλῳ μάλιστα τοῦτο συμβαίνει δι᾽ ὅτι φύσει ὑγρόν ἐστι καὶ ἡ ὑγρότης αὐτῆς ἄχυλος καὶ ὑδατώδης· εὐπαθεστάτη γὰρ ἡ τοιαύτη. ἐνιαχοῦ δὲ οὐ γίνονται τὸ ὅλον ἶπες ὅταν εὔπνους τε καὶ μὴ ἔνυγρος μηδ᾽ εὔτροφος ὁ τόπος ὑπάρχῃ. καὶ περὶ μὲν νοσημάτων ἐν τοῖς ὕστερον ἐπὶ πλέον ῥητέον.
