 3 3|           colour is, or sound, or odour, or savour; and so also
 4 4|          We have next to speak of Odour and Savour, both of which
 5 5|       that either is a vehicle of odour, but qua possessed of a
 6 5|       moist, it would follow that Odour is the natural substance
 7 5|        those which do not possess odour. The elements, viz. Fire,
 8 5|           why sea-water possesses odour, for [unlike "elemental"
 9 5|        and Air, as the essence of Odour. [Indeed all are inclined
10 5|         to rush to this theory of Odour.] Heraclitus implied his
11 5|          writers incline to refer odour to this cause [sc. exhalation
12 5|          Now, it is unlikely that odour is either of these. For
13 5|          the exhalation theory of odour is analogous to the theory
14 5|         is clear, therefore, that Odour is in both water and air
15 5|          kind.~Of this species of odour man alone is sensible; the
16 5|        this of the former kind of odour, since its nature is agreeable
17 5|          unwholesome; whereas the odour arising from what is fragrant,
18 5|       from what is fragrant, that odour which is pleasant in its
19 5|            too, the perception of odour [in general] effected through
20 5|          is thereby promoted. For odour, as a power, is naturally
21 5| secondarily for the inhalation of odour. For while an animal is
22 5|      while an animal is inhaling,—odour moves in through its nostrils,
23 5|           one of the two kinds of odour [i.e. that connected with
24 5|  perception of the one species of odour only, as human beings have
25 5|          thanks to the species of odour correlated with nutrition,
26 5|   perception of their food by its odour.~It is not equally certain
27 5|       organ whereby they perceive odour, may well cause a difficulty,
28 5|         any sense which perceives odour is a sense of smell, and
29 5|           shows repugnance to the odour of things which are essentially
30 5|       these. For the disagreeable odour in itself they care nothing
31 5|         the organ which perceives odour is in the head, and odour
32 5|         odour is in the head, and odour enters with the inhalation
33 5|         is plain, therefore, that odour, qua odour, does not contribute
34 5|        therefore, that odour, qua odour, does not contribute to
35 5|           above employed; so that odour is in relation to general
36 6|         qualities—Colour, Savour, Odour, Sound, Weight, Cold or
37 6|   sense-organ and its object], as Odour evidently does, and also
38 6|     odorous object] perceives the Odour sooner [than who is farther
39 6|        place as regards Sound and Odour, for these, like [their
40 6|        object]. These things [the odour or sound proper] are not
41 6|             But [though sound and odour may travel,] with regard
