  5     I, 6 |         hail is produced when the water borne down from the clouds
  6     I, 7 |           is hollow, and contains water in its caverns. And that

 14     I, 21|        like fishes jumping out of water into the pure air, behold

 16    IV, 28|             into a vessel full of water (the sorcerer) infusing
 17    IV, 28|       having filled a vessel with water, he puts down (into it)
 18    IV, 32|         linen cloth upon a pot of water, throwing on (at the same
 19    IV, 33|           the midst a pot full of water, he invokes all the deities,
 20    IV, 33|     though he should plunge it in water; for it contains in itself
 21    IV, 34|           of gypsum strained with water, and of gum. Now this (last
 22    IV, 35|        cauldron, however, full of water, is placed in the middle
 23    IV, 37|            placing a dish full of water equally (with the mirror)
 24    IV, 38|           steeped in a mixture of water and gum, and fastened on
 25    IV, 43|         and some spirit, and some water, while others say that He
 26    IV, 43|          to spirit, and fire, and water, and earth. And out of these
 27    IV, 43|           two elements, earth and water, being more gross, he assigned
 28    IV, 43|           feminine. And again the water is masculine, and the earth
 29    IV, 43|        consorted with spirit, and water with earth. For as the power
 30    IV, 43|          so also that of earth is water; ... and the elements themselves,
 31     V, 2 |    according to them, life-giving water, and anointed with ineffable
 32     V, 2 |           they say that Osiris is water. But the seven-robed nature,
 33     V, 2 |    whirled round by the eddies of water, at one time upwards, at
 34     V, 2 |          above, for it is born of water only, and of spirit, being
 35     V, 3 |           the following terms:--~"Water to the raging mouth bring;

 38     V, 4 |           the Milesian, (spoke of water as an originating principle,)
 39     V, 4 |            This, he says, is "the water that is above the firmament,"
 40     V, 4 |         to drink living, bubbling water." Into this water, he says,
 41     V, 4 |        bubbling water." Into this water, he says, every nature enters,
 42     V, 4 |          to each nature from this water, he says, more than iron
 43     V, 4 |         with abundance of fruits, water coursing its way through
 44     V, 4 |        that from one and the same water the olive chooses for itself
 45     V, 4 |         who, from the life-giving water of Euphrates, which flows
 46     V, 9 |          presenting the colour of water, whirls things on that are
 47     V, 11|           beyond destruction. But water, he says, is destruction;
 48     V, 11|       other thing quicker than by water. Water, however, is that
 49     V, 11|      thing quicker than by water. Water, however, is that which
 50     V, 11|         says, is of the colour of water; and this power, he says--
 51     V, 11|          above,~And Styx' flooded water, which is the oath~That

 71     V, 22|           separation made between water and water; and there is
 72     V, 22| separation made between water and water; and there is water, that
 73     V, 22|           and water; and there is water, that below the firmament

 76    VI, 6 |        earth we see, and water by water,~And air divine by air,

 78    VI, 9 |           God was wafted over the water;" that is, says (the Simonian),
 79    VI, 9 |           that is wafted over the water, being begotten, he says,

 83    VI, 10|     crossing) the Red Sea; which (water) is a path to be trodden,
 84    VI, 10|           the Logos--that bitter (water) becomes sweet. And that
