- 1025, ابن سينا [Avicenna], القانون في الطب [Canon Medicinae]:
- زوان:
الماهية: أقول: إن الزوان اسم يوقعه الناس على شيئين أحدهما حبّ شبيه بالحنطة يتخذ منه الناس الخبز.
ويقولون إن الزوان الكثيب وقوم آخرون يسمون به شيئاً مسكراً رديئاً في الحبوب والكلام في ذلك غير ما نحن فيه.
الاختيار: أجوده الخفيف الورق غير نخر ولا متفتت بل لزج عند المضغ إلى الحمرة وفيه عفوصة يسيرة وقال فولس: قوّته قريبة من قوة الحنطة في الحر والبرد وهو يجفف ويغري.
فهذا آخر الكلام من حرف الزاي وذلك سبعة وعشرون دواء.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
