κόπτεται γὰρ οὐ ξηρὸς ἀλλὰ χλωρός, ὥστε σήπεται ταχὺ διάβροχος γενόμενος: ὑόμενος δὲ πρὸ τοῦ θέρους ὁ σῖτος βοηθεῖται πρὸς τὰ θερμὰ καὶ νότια
πνεύματα: ταῦτα γὰρ οὐκ ἐᾷ πυκνωθῆναι συνιστάμενον
ἐν τῷ στάχυι τὸν καρπόν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐξίστησι καὶ διαχεῖ τῇ θερμότητι τὴν πῆξιν, ἂν μὴ βεβρεγμένης τῆς γῆς ὑγρότης παραμένῃ ψύχουσα καὶ νοτίζουσα
τὸν στάχυν.
[p. 385]
διὰ τί πυροφόρος ἡ πίων καὶ βαθεῖα χώρα, κριθοφόρος δὲ μᾶλλον ἡ λεπτόγεως;
ἦ ὅτι τῶν σπερμάτων τὰ ἰσχυρὰ πλείονος τροφῆς
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1893. 5.
