 1 Intro|           fans, the close and heavy particles settled in one place, the
 2 Intro|             penetration. The single particles of any of the elements are
 3 Intro|           the finer and more subtle particles of the lighter elements,
 4 Intro|       composed of small and unequal particles, the fusile of large and
 5 Intro|         fusile of large and uniform particles and is more solid, but nevertheless
 6 Intro|         when it is made up of equal particles, is fair and transparent,
 7 Intro|        angles, the smallness of the particles, the quickness of the motion.
 8 Intro|           is produced by the larger particles of moisture outside the
 9 Intro|             the dissimilar air, the particles of earth cling to their
10 Intro|            other affections. Earthy particles, entering into the small
11 Intro|          the tongue, and meet there particles of earth and air, two kinds
12 Intro|     composition of the deliquescent particles is congenial to the tongue,
13 Intro|             from all bodies, having particles corresponding to the sense
14 Intro|         sense of sight. Some of the particles are less and some larger,
15 Intro|             of the sight. The equal particles appear transparent; the
16 Intro|             the contraction, of the particles of sight. There is also
17 Intro|          substance of the body: the particles of blood, too, formed out
18 Intro|         heavenly bodies, and to the particles of matter. The ancients
19 Intro|             is supposed to give two particles of air and one of fire.
20 Intro|            air is resolved into two particles of fire.~The transformation
21 Intro|            of water upon earth. The particles are supposed by him to be
22 Intro|           there is no void, but the particles of matter are ever pushing
23 Intro|             the interpenetration of particles in proportion to their density
24 Intro|            a sort of ‘world’ to the particles of the blood which circulate
25 Intro|       simple act of sight. When the particles of light which proceed from
26 Intro|            are exactly equal to the particles of the visual ray which
27 Intro| disagreeable sensation, while other particles congenial to the tongue
28 Intro|         discernible in the ‘similar particles’ of Anaxagoras. Also they
29 Timae|           corn, the close and heavy particles are borne away and settle
30 Timae|             and the loose and light particles in another. In this manner,
31 Timae|          smallest number of similar particles: and the second body has
32 Timae|             Again, when a few small particles, enclosed in many larger
33 Timae|         attack them (i.e. the small particles), the latter continue to
34 Timae|             composed of the largest particles have the largest void left
35 Timae|            composed of the smallest particles have the least. And the
36 Timae|     compression thrusts the smaller particles into the interstices of
37 Timae|            of the small and unequal particles of water; and moves itself
38 Timae|     uniformity and the shape of its particles; whereas the fusile kind,
39 Timae|         formed of large and uniform particles, is more stable than the
40 Timae|           gets in and dissolves the particles and destroys the uniformity,
41 Timae|        substances composed of finer particles of earth and of a briny
42 Timae|          masses of earth; for their particles, being smaller than the
43 Timae|       unmelted and undissolved; but particles of water, which are larger,
44 Timae|            compressed by force, the particles of water which approach
45 Timae|             it undissolved; but the particles of fire, entering into the
46 Timae|            and the smallness of the particles, and the swiftness of the
47 Timae|         describe it. For the larger particles of moisture which surround
48 Timae|           do this, were to abstract particles of fire and put them in
49 Timae|             bodies formed of larger particles yield to the agent only
50 Timae|     affections; for whenever earthy particles enter into the small veins
51 Timae|          all termed bitter. But the particles which are deficient in the
52 Timae|        pungent. But when these same particles, refined by putrefaction,
53 Timae|            duly proportioned to the particles of earth and air which are

60 Timae|       sending off like to like; the particles of blood, too, which are
61 Timae|           by a multitude of similar particles. But when the roots of the
