δι᾽ ὃ καὶ τῶν ἐπὶ τοῦ αὐτοῦ καυλοῦ κυάμων οὐδὲν κωλύει τῶν μὲν ἀτεράμονα τὸν λοβὸν εἶναι καὶ ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ λοβῷ καθάπερ τινές φασι εἴπερ λέγουσιν ἀληθῆ· τὸν μὲν γὰρ ἀσθενέστερον εἶναι τὸν δὲ ἰσχυρότερον ἐνδέχεται. τῆς δ᾽ ἀσθενείας τοῦ κυάμου κἀκεῖνο σημεῖον ἄν τις λάβοι· μόνος γὰρ δοκεῖ μεταβάλλειν τὴν χρόαν ἐκ λευκοῦ μέλας.
