[3] Διαφέρει δὲ ὡς ἔοικε χώρα χώρας καὶ ἀὴρ ἀέρος εἰς τὸ κόπτεσθαι καὶ μὴ τὰ σπέρματα· ἐν Ἀπολλωνίᾳ γοῦν τῇ περὶ τὸν Ἰόνιον οὐκ ἐσθίεσθαί φασιν ὅλως κύαμον, δι᾿ ὃ καὶ εἰς θησαυρισμὸν ἀποτίθεσθαι· διαμένει δὲ καὶ περὶ Κυζικὸν ἐπὶ πλείω. μέγα δὲ πρὸς διαμονὴν καὶ τὸ ξηρὰ θερίζειν· ἐλάττων γὰρ ἡ ὑγρότης· θερίζουσι δ᾿ ἐγχυλότερα τὰ μὲν χεδροπὰ πρὸς τὸ μᾶλλον καὶ ῥᾷον συλλέξαι, ταχὺ γὰρ καταρρεῖ καὶ αὐανθέντα ¹²³⁴ θρύπτεται, τοὺς δὲ πυροὺς καὶ γένος τι κριθῶν διὰ τὸ βελτίους εἰς τὰ ἄλφιτα γίνεσθαι μὴ ἀπεξηραμμένας.
