    • 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.‏
