 1 1|  far-renowned stone which draws iron [the lodestone]. It mightbe
 2 1|    Asclepiades, yet allows that iron is attractedby the lodestone,

 4 1|       masses (the stone and the iron) they then rebound into
 5 1|        each other, and draw the iron after them. So far, then,
 6 1|        similar particles of the iron, and that then, by means
 7 1|       such a heavy substance as iron is attracted - I fail to
 8 1|         the fact that, when the iron has another piece broughtin
 9 1|      lodestone collide with the iron and then rebound back,and
10 1|         it is by these that the iron becomes suspended? that
