σχεδὸν δ᾽ ἡ τοιαύτη θεραπεία καὶ κατάστασις ὁμοία τῇ διακαθάρσει τυγχάνει τελείων ὄντων τῶν δένδρων· ὑπὲρ ἧς καὶ δεικτέον πρῶτον τῶν κατὰ τὰς θεραπείας εἶθ᾽ οὕτω περὶ τῶν ἄλλων. ὥσπερ γὰρ ἐφεξῆς ταῦτα τῶν περὶ τὴν φυτουργίαν ἐστί. κοινοτάτη μὲν οὖν καὶ μάλιστα ἔνδηλος ἐπὶ τῶν ἀμπέλων τυγχάνει· πάντες γὰρ χρῶνται καὶ πάντες ἀμπελουργοῦσιν ὑπ᾽ αὐτῆς ἀναγκαζόμενοι τῆς φύσεως διὰ τὴν εὐβλάστειαν καὶ πολυβλαστίαν· ὑπὲρ ἧς ἐπειδὴ καὶ ἐν τῇ κλάσει καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἄλλοις διηκρίβωται μάλισθ᾽ ἡ θεραπεία πειρατέον αὐτὰ καθ᾽ αὑτὰ θεωρεῖν ὕστερον· νῦν δ᾽ ὑπὲρ τῶν ἄλλων λέγωμεν.
