[4] Ἑὰν δὲ μὴ ὑπόρριζα τὰ φυτὰ μηδὲ ὑπόπρεμνα ¹² λαμβάνειν, καθάπερ τῆς ἐλάας, σχίσαντά τε τὸ ξύλον κάτωθεν καὶ λίθον ἐμβαλόντα φυτεύειν· ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ τῆς ἐλάας καὶ συκῆς καὶ τῶν ἄλλων. φυτεύεται δὲ ἡ συκῆ καὶ ἐάν τις κράδην παχεῖαν ἀποξύνας σφύρᾳ παίῃ. ἄχρι οὗ ἂν ἀπολίπῃ μικρὸν ὑπὲρ τῆς γῆς, εἶτ᾿ αὐτῆς ἄμμον βαλὼν ἄνωθεν ἐπιχώσῃ· καὶ γίνεσθαι δή φασι καὶ καλλίω ταῦτα τὰ φυτά, μέχρι οὗ ἂν ᾖ νέα.
