‘ τὰ ἀλλαχοῦ γινόμενα ὡς τὸ τοῦ ἀγρίου σῦκα κρέας πρὸς τὰ ἄλλα, τὰ μὴ τῶν ἀγρίων χοίρων κρέα. 10. λευκερινεὼς δέ τι εἶδός ἐστι συκῆς, καὶ ἴσως αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ τὰ λευκὰ σῦκα φέρουσα, μνημονεύει δ᾽ αὐτῆς Ἕρμιππος ἐν Ἰάμβοις οὕτως

τὰς λευκερινεὼς δὲ χωρὶς ἰσχάδας.
τῶν δ᾽ ἐρινῶν σύκων Εὐριπίδης ἐν Σκίρωνι:

ἢ προσπηγνύναι
κράδαις ἐριναῖς.
καὶ Ἐπίχαρμος ἐν Σφιγγί:

ἀλλ᾽ οὐχ ὅμοιὰ γ᾽ ἐρινοῖς οὐδαμῶς. [p. 330]
Σοφοκλῆς δ᾽ ἐν Ἑλένης Γάμῳ τροπικῶς τῷ τοῦ δένδρου ὀνόματι τὸν καρπὸν ἐκάλεσεν εἰπών

πέπων ἐρινὸς ... ἀχρεῖος ὢν
ἐς βρῶσιν ἄλλους ἐξερινάζεις λόγῳ.
πέπων δ᾽ ἐρινὸς εἴρηκεν ἀντὶ τοῦ πέπον ἐρινόν. καὶ Ἄλεξις ἐν Λέβητι:

καὶ τί δεῖ
λέγειν ἔθ᾽ ἡμᾶς τοὺς τὰ σῦχ᾽ ἑκάστοτε
ἐν τοῖς συρίχοις πωλοῦντας; οἳ κάτωθε μὲν
τὰ σκληρὰ καὶ μοχθηρὰ τῶν σύκων ἀεὶ
τιθέασιν, ἐπιπολῆς δὲ πέπονα καὶ καλά.
