ἄλλη δὲ πρὸς ἄλλην δύναμιν οἰκεία χώρα καθάπερ ἐπὶ τῶν καρπῶν· ἔνιαι γὰρ οὐδὲ ἐκπέττουσιν ὅλως τὰς φαρμακώδεις δυνάμεις· ἐπεὶ πολλαχοῦ καὶ μέλας ἐλλέβορός ἐστι καὶ ἄλλαι τῶν ῥιζῶν ἀλλ᾽ ἀμβλεῖαι καὶ ἀδύνατοί τινες. ᾗ καὶ δόξειεν ἂν ψυχροῦ τινος ἀέρος ἅμα καὶ εὔπνου δεῖσθαι καὶ ἔτι τροφῆς συμμέτρου· φαίνεται δ᾽ οὖν ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι πλεῖστα φάρμακα γίνεσθαι καὶ ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοτάτοις καὶ μεγίστοις μάλιστα. καὶ περὶ μὲν τούτων ἱκανῶς εἰρήσθω.
