Aliae enim radices angustius diffundunt, ut cupressi, aliae latius, ut platani, usque eo ut Theophrastus scribat Athenis in Lyceo, cum etiam nunc platanus novella esset, radices trium et triginta cubitorum egisse.
For some trees, such as the cypress, spread their roots less, and others, such as the plane, more; so much, indeed, that Theophrastus mentions a plane tree in the Lyceum at Athens which, even when it was quite young, had thrown out its roots to a spread of thirty-three cubits.
