ἐπεὶ καὶ ὅπου περὶ κύνα καὶ τοὺς ἐτησίας εὐθενεῖ καὶ ἐπιβλαστάνει τὰ δένδρα τηνικαῦτα καὶ τὰς φυτείας ποιοῦνται, πολλῷ δέον ἀκολουθεῖν τῇ τοῦ ἀέρος κράσει καὶ τῇ τῶν φυτῶν ὁρμῇ. τάχα δὲ καὶ ἡ ὁρμὴ γίνεται διὰ τὸ περιέχον· ὅπου δ᾽ αὖ θερινὸς ὄμβρος πολὺς ὥσπερ ἐν Αἰθιοπίᾳ καὶ ἐν Ἰνδοῖς ἢ περὶ Αἴγυπτον ὁ Νεῖλος ἐνταῦθα δὴ πρὸ τούτων ἢ μετὰ τούτους εἰκὸς τὴν φυτείαν ἁρμόττειν· τηνικαῦτα γὰρ ἡ τοῦ ἀέρος κρᾶσις σύμμετρος.
