οὐ μὴν ἀλλ᾽ ἐνίαις γε χρῶνται καὶ πρὸς τὰ δένδρα τῶν ἰσχυροτέρων καὶ μάλιστα εἰς μαλακότητα καὶ μεταβολὴν τῶν καρπῶν οἷον ὑείᾳ πρὸς τὸ γλυκαίνειν καὶ ἀπυρήνους ποιεῖν τὰς ῥόας καὶ τὰς ἀμυγδαλᾶς ἐκ πικρῶν γλυκείας καὶ ὡς παρὰ τοὺς μυρρίνους κελεύουσιν ἰσχυροτέραν ἔτι παραβάλλειν οἷον τὴν βυρσοδεψικὴν καὶ οὖρον παραχεῖν ὅταν ἐκβλαστήσωσιν ὡς ἂν ἀπυρήνων γινομένων· οἱ δὲ καὶ ἐλάᾳ συμφέρειν οἴονται πρὸς εὐκαρπίαν.
