φαίνεται δὲ καὶ ὅλως τινὰ ἔχειν τοιοῦτον χυλὸν ἔν τε τοῖς φύλλοις καὶ τοῖς κλωσὶν ὃς καὶ ἀποπλυθέντων ὅλως ἔνδηλός ἐστι κατὰ τὴν γεῦσιν οὐ μόνον ἐν τούτοις ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ καρπῷ. δῆλον δὲ τοῦτο ἐν τῇ γεύσει γίνεται ἐάν τις ἐπὶ τὴν γλῶτταν ἐπιθῇ μὴ διαμασησάμενος ὅλως· ἐν τῷ κελύφει γὰρ ἡ ἁλμυρὶς οὐκ ἐν τῷ ἐντὸς ἣ καὶ συνδιατηρεῖ πρὸς τὸ ἄκοπον εἶναι. καὶ φαίνεται τὴν αὐτὴν ἔχειν τάξιν ἥπερ καὶ πεφυκότος·
