Quotation

Ἄνθος· παρὰ τὸ ἄνω θεῖν καὶ τρέχειν ἐν τῷ αὔξεσθαι. οὐκ ἀναστρέφουσι δὲ αἱ ἐτυμολογίαι· <οὐ γὰρ εἴ τι ἄνω θεῖ καὶ αὔξεται, τοῦτο καὶ ἄνθος λέγεται. ἰδοὺ γὰρ πάντα τὰ φυτὰ ἄνω θέουσι καὶ αὔξουσιν, καὶ ὅμως ἄνθη οὐ λέγονται. ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ ἔλαφος παρὰ τὸ ἐλαύνειν τοὺς ὄφεις εἴρηται, ὅπερ ποιεῖ τούτου τὸ κέρας θυμιώμενον· καὶ οὐκ, εἴ τι τοῦτο †ποιοῦν, τοῦτο καὶ ἔλαφος λέγεται·> ἡ γὰρ δίκταμος βοτάνη καιομένη τοῦτο ποιεῖ, καὶ οὐδέποτε ἂν κληθείη ἔλαφος. οὕτως Ὠρίων ὁ Θηβαῖος
