ἔτι δὲ ἡ περίσαξις ἀλέαν παρέχουσα θᾶττον ἀνιέναι ποιεῖ βλαστόν· μέγα γὰρ καὶ ἡ ἀλέα πρὸς τὸ πρωϊβλαστεῖν. σημεῖον δὲ καὶ τοῦτο φανερόν· ἐὰν γάρ τις χειμῶνος ἐν ταλάροις φυτεύσῃ σικύου σπέρματα καὶ ἄρδῃ τε θερμῷ καὶ πρὸς τὸν ἥλιον ἐκφέρῃ καὶ πρὸς τὸ πῦρ τιθῇ καὶ ὅταν ἡ ὥρα τοῦ σπείρειν καθήκῃ σὺν αὐτοῖς ταλάροις φυτεύσῃ πρώϊοι σφόδρα γίνονται· ταῦτα μὲν οὖν διὰ τὰς εἰρημένας αἰτίας συμβαίνει.
