10  II,  4 |    starting-point the fact that water naturally tends to collect
11  II,  4 |     will be a hollow place. The water then will collect there
12  II,  4 |    equal to the two radii. Thus water forces its way to the ends
13  II,  4 |    therefore the surface of the water BEC is spherical.~It is
14  II,  4 |       in the same proportion as water is finer than earth.~
15  II,  13|        say the earth rests upon water. This, indeed, is the oldest

17  II,  13|         It is not the nature of water, any more than of earth,
18  II,  13|          as air is lighter than water, so is water than earth:
19  II,  13|       lighter than water, so is water than earth: how then can

25 III,  4 |         atomic, air, earth, and water cannot be differentiated
26 III,  4 |   account for the generation of water, air, and earth from one
27 III,  5 |      which is according to some water, to others air, to others
28 III,  5 |      again something finer than water and denser than air, an
29 III,  5 |        element, which is either water or air or a body finer than
30 III,  5 |        air or a body finer than water and denser than air, and
31 III,  5 |       distinction between fire, water, and air, but one and the

36 III,  5 |       that air, to others again water and earth.~The common error
37 III,  6 |       of observation that fire, water, and every simple body undergo
38 III,  7 | maintain this, if they say that water is a body present in air

43 III,  8 |      are included, particularly water and air. In such a case
44 III,  8 |    changed, it will cease to be water, since the distinctive quality
45  IV,  2 |       is to have more, and air, water, and fire are composed of
46  IV,  2 |       air which is heavier than water. But the facts are directly
47  IV,  2 |         will rise up out of the water.~So much for one view of
48  IV,  2 |     lighter and a heavier (viz. water and earth) among bodies
49  IV,  2 |        is heavier than a little water or earth, which is impossible.~
50  IV,  3 |    scries are like one another: water, I mean, is like air and
51  IV,  3 |      extremes; thus air is like water, but water is like earth:
52  IV,  3 |     thus air is like water, but water is like earth: for the relation
53  IV,  3 |         comes into being out of water, light out of heavy, it
54  IV,  4 |        others. Such are air and water. Neither of them is absolutely

58  IV,  4 |        weight everywhere, while water is heavy anywhere but in
59  IV,  4 |        air is heavy when not in water or earth. In its own place
60  IV,  4 |    preponderates over earth and water, may well be lighter than
61  IV,  4 |       lighter than something in water and yet heavier than it
62  IV,  4 |         rises to the surface in water.~The following account will

65  IV,  5 |       lightness and weight, and water sinks to the bottom of all
66  IV,  5 |         it, air to the place of water and water to that of earth.
67  IV,  5 |       to the place of water and water to that of earth. But if

71  IV,  5 |       not possible to it. Hence water is drawn up into the vessel
72  IV,  5 |        bodies behave as air and water behave. Suppose, for example,
73  IV,  5 |          fire preponderates, in water, earth. There will then
74  IV,  5 |      will then be a quantity of water containing more fire than
75  IV,  5 |        more earth than a little water: consequently we shall have
76  IV,  5 |      more quickly than a little water. But such a thing has never
77  IV,  5 |     goes to its own place above water because it has something
78  IV,  5 |         has something else, and water goes downward because of
79  IV,  5 |       quantity of each at which water will excel a little air
80  IV,  5 |   upward movement and air excel water in the downward movement,
81  IV,  6 |        iron or lead floats upon water, while smaller and less
82  IV,  6 |     bodies moving up out of the water hold up heavy bodies which

84  IV,  6 |      air is more so than water, water than earth. Further, the
