The island of Crete is the only place that produces the
shrub called "tragion." [Note] It is similar in appearance to the terebinth; [Note] a similarity which extends to the seed even, said to be remarkably efficacious for healing wounds made by arrows. The same island produces tragacanthe [Note] also, with a root which resembles that of the white thorn; it is very much preferred [Note] to that which is grown in Media or in Achaia; the price at which it sells is three denarii per pound.
