 1  II,  1 |           a large mass of water is salt and the way in which it
 2  II,  1 |         saltness: for all sweat is salt. Others say that the saltness
 3  II,  1 |     strained through ashes becomes salt, so the sea owes its saltness
 4  II,  2 |       origin, and the cause of its salt and bitter taste.~What made
 5  II,  2 |         but originate from it, the salt water becoming sweet by
 6  II,  2 |            of all water, why is it salt and not sweet? The reason
 7  II,  2 |            all of it drawn up: the salt water is heavy and remains
 8  II,  2 |          because the weight of the salt water makes it remain there,
 9  II,  2 |         are found to be bitter and salt. This is because the sweet
10  II,  2 |        only found in rivers, while salt water is stationary, and
11  II,  3 |         now explain why the sea is salt, and ask whether it eternally
12  II,  3 |           it must either have been salt at first too, or, if not
13  II,  3 |          not now either. If it was salt from the very beginning,
14  II,  3 |           that was so; and why, if salt water was drawn up then,
15  II,  3 |   admixture of earth makes the sea salt (for they say that earth
16  II,  3 |        rivers and so makes the sea salt by its admixture), it is
17  II,  3 |          that rivers should not be salt too. How can the admixture
18  II,  3 |           from rivers but in being salt, is evidently simply the
19  II,  3 |         sweet liquid drunk becomes salt sweat whether it is merely
20  II,  3 |            too, becomes bitter and salt though the liquid we drink
21  II,  3 |          indeed we actually find a salt deposit settling in chamber-pots)
22  II,  3 |        water is what makes the sea salt.~Now in the body stuff of
23  II,  3 |          to explain why the sea is salt. There are many facts which
24  II,  3 |         residue of liquid food, is salt and bitter, as we said before.
25  II,  3 |            earth that made the sea salt. To say that it was burnt
26  II,  3 |            how the sea comes to be salt.~It also explains why rain
27  II,  3 |    continually making the sea more salt, but some part of its saltness
28  II,  3 |            same ratio in which the salt and brackish element in
29  II,  3 |     remains constant on the whole. Salt water when it turns into
30  II,  3 |           the vapour does not form salt water when it condenses
31  II,  3 |           of which makes the water salt, being separated off as
32  II,  3 |           is this stuff which make salt water heavy (it weighs more

45  IV,  7 |    solidifies it. Hence natron and salt and stone and potter’s clay
46  IV,  7 |            out of which natron and salt are formed; and stones are
47  IV,  8 |   dissolved by water, e.g. natron, salt, dry mud. Those bodies that
