- 1916, Theophrastus, translated by Arthur Hort, Enquiry into plants‎^[1], Harvard University Press, page 98:
  πλείω δ’ ἀκρόκαρπα τῶν ἄλλων ἢ τῶν δένδρον, οἷον τῶν τε σιτηρῶν τὰ σταχυώδη καὶ τῶν θαμνωδῶν ἐρείκη καὶ σπειραία καὶ ἄγυος καὶ ἄλλ’ ἄττα καὶ τῶν λαχανωδῶν τὰ κεφαλόρριζα.
  pleíō d’ akrókarpa tôn állōn ḕ tôn déndron, hoîon tôn te sitērôn tà stakhuṓdē kaì tôn thamnōdôn ereíkē kaì speiraía kaì águos kaì áll’ átta kaì tôn lakhanōdôn tà kephalórrhiza.
  But bearing fruit at the top is less common in trees than in other plants, as among grains in those which have an ear, among shrubby plants in heath privet chaste tree and certain others, and among pot-herbs in those with a bulbous root.
