It is a meadow of roses;1 but others say that the rose-laurel is called thus.2 And others [say] that it is a kind of vine which bears berries similar to the rose in color.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ῥοδωνιά· ἔστι μὲν ὁ τῶν ῥόδων λειμών· ἄλλοι δὲ καὶ τὴν ῥοδοδάφνην οὕτω φασὶ καλεῖσθαι. ἕτεροι δὲ εἶδος ἀμπέλου φερούσης σταφυλὴν παραπλησίαν τῷ ῥόδῳ κατὰ τὸ χρῶμα.
