Most mountains abound with wild thyme and sisymbriurm, those of Thrace, for example, where ^[Note] branches of these wild plants are torn up and brought away for planting, So, too. the people of Sicyon seek for wild thyme on their mountains,

and the Athenians on the slopes of Hymettus. Sisymlbrium, too, is planted in a similar manner; it grows to the greatest perfection upon the walls of wells, and around fish preserves and ponds. ^[Note]
