καὶ διὰ τοῦτο φάρμακα φαρμάκων ἀμείνω κατὰ τοὺς τόπους οὐ μακρὰν ἀπέχοντας· οἷον ὁ ἐκ τῆς Οἴτης ἐλλέβορος τοῦ ἐν τῷ Παρνασῷ· δοκεῖ γὰρ ἰσχυρότερος εἶναι οὗτος καὶ οὐχ ἁρμόττειν εἰς τὴν χρείαν. ἡ δὲ ἰσχὺς ἐκ παραπλησίας τινὸς αἰτίας γίνεται καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν καρπῶν· καὶ γὰρ ἐνταῦθα σκληρότητί τε τοῦ ἀέρος καὶ πλήθει τῆς τροφῆς βαρεῖς γίνονται διὰ τὸ πολὺ τὸ γεῶδες ἔχειν ὥσπερ οἱ ἐν τῇ Βοιωτίᾳ· κἀκεῖ διὰ τὰς ὁμοίας αἰτίας.
