[41] ῾ιερικοῦς δ᾽ ἐστὶ πεδίον κύκλῳ περιεχόμενον ὀρεινῇ τινι καί που καὶ θεατροειδῶς πρὸς αὐτὸ κεκλιμένῃ: ἐνταῦθα δ᾽ ἐστὶν ὁ φοινικών, μεμιγμένην ἔχων καὶ ἄλλην ὕλην ἥμερον καὶ εὔκαρπον, πλεονάζων δὲ τῷ φοίνικι, ἐπὶ μῆκος σταδίων ἑκατόν, διάρρυτος ἅπας καὶ μεστὸς κατοικιῶν: ἔστι δ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ βασίλειον καὶ ὁ τοῦ βαλσάμου παράδεισος: ἔστι δὲ τὸ φυτὸν θαμνῶδες, κυτίσῳ ἐοικὸς καὶ τερμίνθῳ, ἀρωματίζον: οὗ τὸν φλοιὸν ἐπισχίσαντες ὑπολαμβάνουσιν ἀγγείοις τὸν [p. 1065] ὀπὸν γλίσχρῳ γάλακτι παραπλήσιον: ἀναληφθεὶς δ᾽ εἰς κογχάρια λαμβάνει πῆξιν: λύει δὲ κεφαλαλγίας θαυμαστῶς καὶ ὑποχύσεις ἀρχομένας καὶ ἀμβλυωπίας: τίμιος οὖν ἐστι καὶ διότι ἐνταῦθα μόνον γεννᾶται: καὶ ὁ φοινικὼν δὲ τοιοῦτος, ἔχων τὸν καρυωτὸν φοίνικα ἐνταῦθα μόνον, πλὴν τοῦ Βαβυλωνίου καὶ τοῦ ἐπέκεινα πρὸς τὴν ἕω: μεγάλη οὖν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἡ πρόσοδος. καὶ τῷ ξυλοβαλσάμῳ δὲ ὡς ἀρώματι χρῶνται.
