Translation
With a view to what is being explained. Whether because the trees shed their leaves in that same season and are dried out from the roots and uprooted by the snowstorms, or because when wood-cutters dig trenches they throw [the trees] into the rivers, so that they are carried off and away by the flood; which [is] sound.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀζαλέας δρῦς· πρὸς τὸ σημαινόμενον. πότερον ὅτι φυλλορροεῖ κατ' αὐτὴν τὴν ὥραν ξηραινόμενα τὰ δένδρα ἐκ ῥιζῶν ἀναβαλλόμενα ὑπὸ τῶν χειμάρρων, ἢ ὅτι δρυτόμοι εἰς τὰς ποταμίους ἐμβάλλουσι διώρυγας κόπτοντες, ἵνα συγκαταφέρηται τῷ ὄμβρῳ· ὅπερ ὑγιές.
