Apollonius Dyscolus Histor. comment. 18:
Φύλαρχος ἐν τῇ εἰκοστῇ Ἱστοριῶν ἐκ τῆς Ἰνδικῆς φησιν ἐνεχθῆναι λευκὴν ῥίζαν, ἣν κόπτοντες μεθ ̓ ὕδατος καταπλάττειν τοὺς πόδας, τοὺς δὲ καταπλασθέντας ἄνδρας τῆς συνουσίας λήθην ἴσχειν καὶ γίγνεσθαι ὁμοίους εὐνούχοις· διὸ καὶ ἔτι ἀνήβων ὄντων καταχρίουσι, καὶ μέχρι θανάτου οὐκ ἐπαίρουσιν.
Phylarchus libro vigesimo Historiarum tradit ex India radicem albam apportari, qua concisa et cum aqua permixta pedes ungant: viros ea unctos concubitus oblivisci atque eunuchis similes reddi: ob eamque rem ungi qui adhuc adolescentuli sint, ac hos quidem usque mortem non arrigere.
