1 I, 3 | among animals breathing air and having a lung) to all 2 II, 1 | receive and breathe out air. But the more perfect are 3 II, 2 | exposed in frosts to the open air, does not freeze but liquefies, 4 II, 2 | those composed of water and air; foam, for instance, becomes 5 II, 2 | with oil; on mixing with air it thickens, wherefore that 6 II, 2 | the heat and turning to air. And if oxide of lead is 7 II, 2 | white, the reason being that air is mixed in with it which 8 II, 2 | thick and white, because air is entangled in it by the 9 II, 2 | and oil itself has much air in it (for shininess is 10 II, 2 | shininess is a property of air, not of earth or water). 11 II, 2 | surface of the water, for the air contained in it as in a 12 II, 2 | because of its heat (for the air is hot and will not freeze), 13 II, 2 | freeze), but because the air is forced together and compressed, 14 II, 2 | it has a quantity of hot air in it because of the internal 15 II, 2 | heat has evaporated and the air has cooled, it turns liquid 16 II, 2 | water, and the former is hot air (aerh); hence semen is liquid 17 II, 2 | semen does not freeze; for air will not freeze.~ 18 II, 6 | animals are differentiated is air, not however that of the 19 II, 6 | instead of one. Of course air must be present, because 20 II, 6 | connecting with the external air and full themselves of innate 21 III, 11| the universe, water and air and earth, so that it also 22 III, 11| water, the land animals to air, but variations of quantity 23 III, 11| ignited appears to be either air or smoke or earth. Such 24 III, 11| there is water in earth, and air in water, and in all air 25 III, 11| air in water, and in all air is vital heat so that in 26 III, 11| form quickly whenever this air and vital heat are enclosed 27 III, 11| or separated off in the air makes an embryo and puts 28 IV, 2 | tempering of the surrounding air and of the food entering 29 IV, 10| resembling the environing air, along with certain other 30 IV, 10| rest of the winds, and the air and winds again according 31 V, 1 | composed of water and not of air or fire—then we must assume 32 V, 2 | since this sense-organ is of air, ends at the place where 33 V, 2 | seemed to be filled with air because their starting-point 34 V, 2 | preserve the movement of the air at a distance; therefore 35 V, 3 | dried by the surrounding air and so coiled up together. 36 V, 3 | themselves and the environing air are moist, whereas the Aethiopians 37 V, 3 | brains and the surrounding air are dry.~Some, however, 38 V, 4 | the heat in the environing air. All decay is caused by 39 V, 4 | this is that it has much air in it, all earthy vapour 40 V, 4 | being equivalent to thick air. For mould is, as it were, 41 V, 6 | is that the hot have more air than water in them, and 42 V, 6 | than water in them, and the air shining through causes whiteness, 43 V, 6 | all things by the vaporous air imprisoned in them. Hence 44 V, 7 | depends on the movement of the air being slow and its highness 45 V, 7 | that the quantity of the air is the cause of some animals 46 V, 7 | a certain amount of the air put in motion), but not 47 V, 7 | and small amount of the air put in motion? If then height 48 V, 7 | loud) voice depends on the air which is moved being much 49 V, 7 | that which moves it, the air that is sent forth must 50 V, 7 | strength, sometimes move much air and make the movement slow, 51 V, 7 | weak either move too much air for their strength and so 52 V, 7 | most females set but little air in motion because of their 53 V, 7 | high-voiced, for a little air is carried along quickly, 54 V, 7 | part by which they set the air in motion is not strong; 55 V, 7 | slowly is heavy, and much air is borne along slowly. And 56 V, 7 | and necessarily sets much air in motion, whereas in the 57 V, 7 | whereas in the rest the air is better dispensed. As 58 V, 7 | this part which moves the air gains more strength in each 59 V, 7 | part by which they set the air in motion is in a tense
