1 I, 7 | when frequent foreshadow wind and drought must be taken 2 I, 7 | had been carried up by a wind and fell down in the daytime-then 3 I, 7 | For in the gulf a north wind blew and outside it a violent 4 I, 7 | outside it a violent south wind. Again in the archonship 5 I, 10| is clear and there is no wind. For the vapour could not 6 I, 10| sky were clear, and if a wind were blowing it could not 7 I, 10| not in cold. For the south wind brings warm, and the north, 8 I, 10| wintry weather. For the north wind is cold and so quenches 9 I, 10| But in Pontus the south wind does not bring warmth enough 10 I, 10| the coldness of the north wind concentrates the heat by 11 I, 10| a north than in a south wind. Only the north winds quench 12 I, 10| gathered, while in a south wind the evaporation is allowed 13 I, 13| in motion and flows, is wind, and that this same air 14 I, 13| implying that the nature of wind and water is the same. So 15 I, 13| the same. So they define wind as a motion of the air. 16 I, 13| that all the winds are one wind, because the air that moves 17 I, 13| investigation is this: the nature of wind and how it originates, its 18 I, 13| one ought to think of the wind as issuing from a sort of 19 II, 3 | it is originally a cold wind, for it becomes warm on 20 II, 3 | passes over.) The north wind, on the other hand, comb 21 II, 3 | just as the south is a dry wind in Libya. So the south wind 22 II, 3 | wind in Libya. So the south wind charges the rain that falls 23 II, 4 | are specifically distinct, wind and rain obviously differ 24 II, 4 | same air when in motion is wind, but when it condenses again 25 II, 4 | surrounds us should become wind when in motion, whatever 26 II, 4 | interchange.~Further, after rain wind generally rises in those 27 II, 4 | when rain has come on the wind ceases. These are necessary 28 II, 4 | be the material cause of. wind. Again, suppose this secretion 29 II, 4 | secretion is present and wind prevails; the heat is continually 30 II, 4 | upper region, and so the wind ceases; then the fall in 31 II, 4 | are the causes that make wind cease on the advent of rain, 32 II, 4 | fall on the cessation of wind.~The cause of the predominance 33 II, 4 | since this evaporation is wind, it is natural that the 34 II, 4 | above: before we feel the wind blowing the air betrays 35 II, 4 | their motion shows that the wind has begun to blow before 36 II, 4 | winds is above. But since wind is defined as "a quantity 37 II, 4 | matter and the generation of wind come from below. The oblique 38 II, 4 | its generation and origin wind plainly derives from the 39 II, 4 | oozes from the earth. Every wind is weakest in the spot from 40 II, 4 | observation becomes a great wind as it passes on.~We have 41 II, 4 | the nature and origin of wind, the occurrence of drought 42 II, 4 | the reason why rain stops wind and wind rises after rain, 43 II, 4 | why rain stops wind and wind rises after rain, the prevalence 44 II, 4 | south winds and also why wind moves in the way it does.~ 45 II, 5 | for this is that the north wind I from the arctic regions 46 II, 5 | from that time onwards the wind tends to blow continuously.) 47 II, 5 | continuously.) But the south wind blows from the tropic of 48 II, 5 | just as we have a north wind here, they must have a corresponding 49 II, 5 | must have a corresponding wind from the antarctic. This 50 II, 5 | from the antarctic. This wind cannot reach us since our 51 II, 5 | reach us since our own north wind is like a land breeze and 52 II, 5 | is clear that the south wind is not the wind that blows 53 II, 5 | the south wind is not the wind that blows from the south 54 II, 5 | is neither that nor the wind from the winter tropic. 55 II, 5 | symmetry would require another wind blowing from the summer 56 II, 5 | since we know that only one wind blows from that quarter. 57 II, 5 | that quarter. So the south wind clearly blows from the torrid 58 II, 5 | extensive and open the south wind is greater and stronger 59 II, 5 | the north than the north wind does to the south.~The origin 60 II, 6 | are these. Zephyrus is the wind that blows from A, this 61 II, 6 | rises at the equinox. The wind blowing from H, the north, 62 II, 6 | north, is the true north wind, called Aparctias: while 63 II, 6 | Its contrary is not the wind blowing from E but Lips 64 II, 6 | Lips blowing from G but the wind that blows from E which 65 II, 6 | solstice, and is the only wind that is diametrically opposite 66 II, 6 | have no contraries. The wind they call Thrascias, which 67 II, 6 | Aparctias, blows from I; and the wind called Meses, which lies 68 II, 6 | or else there would be a wind blowing from the point M 69 II, 6 | for then there would be a wind blowing from N, the point 70 II, 6 | opposite. (But perhaps a local wind which the inhabitants of 71 II, 6 | described Aparctias is the north wind in the strict sense. Thrascias 72 II, 6 | south and Lips. East, the wind from the rising of the sun 73 II, 6 | and half east. West, the wind from the true west and that 74 II, 8 | give rise to a quantity of wind both outside and inside 75 II, 8 | outside and inside it. This wind sometimes flows outwards 76 II, 8 | naturally moves farthest. Wind satisfies these conditions 77 II, 8 | flame and moves rapidly when wind accompanies it): so that 78 II, 8 | that some take place when a wind is blowing, but this presents 79 II, 8 | an earthquake attended by wind. Only these earthquakes 80 II, 8 | inwards the quantity of wind in the earth is greater 81 II, 8 | great and therefore violent wind is developed, which would 82 II, 8 | they have room for so much wind.~For the same reason earthquakes 83 II, 8 | drought the air is full of wind; drought is just the predominance 84 II, 8 | the cavities. Thus a great wind is compressed into a smaller 85 II, 8 | suppose the action of the wind in the earth to be analogous 86 II, 8 | in us by the force of the wind contained in our bodies. 87 II, 8 | after passing water as the wind returns inwards from without 88 II, 8 | in one volume.~The force wind can have may be gathered 89 II, 8 | and spasms are motions of wind, and their force is such 90 II, 8 | has continued until the wind that caused it burst through 91 II, 8 | finally it burst, and a great wind came out of it and threw 92 II, 8 | small particles and then the wind is beaten about and so catches 93 II, 8 | the earth. When a south wind is going to blow there is 94 II, 8 | back into the earth the wind that was issuing from it. 95 II, 8 | being driven on that the wind slips away into the void 96 II, 8 | rule be calm because the wind flows back into the earth: 97 II, 8 | earthquakes, for when the wind is not part outside earth, 98 II, 8 | essentially hot enters the earth. (Wind is not recognized to be 99 II, 8 | cold for the same reason as wind.) Well, when this evaporation 100 II, 8 | line. This is because the wind is leaving the air and dying 101 II, 8 | sea is to the shore so the wind is to the cloudy air; so, 102 II, 8 | cloudy air; so, when the wind drops, this very straight 103 II, 8 | air but is dying away, the wind which causes the earthquake 104 II, 8 | the air moves again and a wind rises, and does so later, 105 II, 8 | determined by the quantity of wind and the shape of the passages 106 II, 8 | from which it forms the wind which we call an earthquake. 107 II, 8 | noises, too, are due to the wind; sometimes they portend 108 II, 8 | things more readily than wind. But when the wind is too 109 II, 8 | than wind. But when the wind is too weak by reason of 110 II, 8 | cause of the earthquake. The wind is the efficient cause whether 111 II, 8 | the true cause is the wind.~The combination of a tidal 112 II, 8 | winds. It occurs when the wind which is shaking the earth 113 II, 8 | off the sea which another wind is bringing on, but pushes 114 II, 8 | it follows that when this wind gives way the whole body 115 II, 8 | driven on by the other wind, will burst out and overwhelm 116 II, 8 | in Achaea. There a south wind was blowing, but outside 117 II, 8 | blowing, but outside a north wind; then there was a calm and 118 II, 8 | there was a calm and the wind entered the earth, and then 119 II, 8 | sea allowed no exit to the wind that had entered the earth, 120 II, 8 | struggle with one another the wind caused the earthquake, and 121 II, 8 | one direction.~When the wind is present in sufficient 122 II, 9 | say that the same stuff is wind on the earth, and earthquake 123 II, 9 | flows in one direction it is wind, in another it causes earthquakes; 124 III, 1 | like those found when a wind is forced from an open into 125 III, 1 | contrary current, and so the wind forms a circle and eddy. 126 III, 1 | and becomes a continuous wind) the cloud follows the exhalation 127 III, 1 | all these phenomena are "wind", and wind is a dry and 128 III, 1 | phenomena are "wind", and wind is a dry and warm evaporation. 129 III, 1 | It moves things by its wind in the direction in which 130 III, 3 | if it is broken up, of wind. For if it does not fade 131 III, 3 | darkest. It is a sign of wind when it is broken up because 132 III, 3 | breaking up is due to a wind which exists there but has 133 III, 3 | support in the fact that the wind blows from the quarter in 134 III, 3 | calmer: for where there is wind it is clear that no halo 135 III, 4 | when there is a south-east wind, and everything seems bigger, 136 IV, 9 | moist nor does it become wind (which is a continuous flow
