ii.] OF THE ANCIENTS. 37 



This writer remarks' 1 , that according to some 

 there are two sorts of Juniper, apKevdo?, one of 

 which has blossoms but no fruit, the other fruit 

 but no blossoms, like the Fig. 



And in his eleventh chapter he goes on to say 

 that many consider that there are two sorts of 

 Cedar, Keftpov, the Lycian and the Phoenician. 



Others, as the inhabitants of Ida, know only of 

 one kind, which is like to the dpnevOos ; but there 

 is a difference in the leaf, which in the Kedpov is 

 hard-pointed and prickly, but in the dpKevOos softer. 

 The dpKtvOos, also, seems to be the loftier tree of 

 the two.

 name of Kedpov to the dpKv6os, as well as to the 

 tree which more properly receives that appellation ; 

 or else, calling the dpKevOos, Ktdpov, they distin- 

 guish the tree properly called KtSpov, by the name 

 of ot^vKeSpov. 



Both have many branches and a knotty timber. 

 The heart-wood of the Kedpov resists decay, and is 

 red, but in the KtSpov it is fragrant, whilst in the 

 dpKevOos it is not so. 



The fruit of the Kedpov is yellow, of the size of 

 that of the Myrtle, and possesses an agreeable 

 smell. 



The dpKtvOos has a similar kind of fruit, but it is 

 black, rough, and almost disagreeable. It hangs 

 on the tree for a year, and then gives place to new 

 fruit. Its bark is like that of the Cypress, but
