Ἀὴρ μὲν γὰρ καὶ ὕδωρ καθ᾽ ἑαυτὰ τῇ φύσει λευκά, τὸ δὲ πῦρ καὶ ὁ ἥλιος ξανθά. Καὶ ἡ γῇ δ᾽ ἐστὶ φύσει λευκή, παρὰ δὲ τὴν βαφὴν πολύχρους φαίνεται. Δῆλον δ᾽ ἐπὶ τῆς τέφρας τοῦτ᾽ ἐστίν· ἐκκαυθέντος γὰρ τοῦ τὴν βαφὴν πεποιηκότος ὑγροῦ λευκὴ γίνεται, οὐ παντελῶς δὲ δᾶ τὸ τῷ καπνῷ βεβάφθαι μέλανι ὄντι. Διὸ καὶ ἡ κονία ξανθὴ γίνεται, τοῦ φλογοειδοῦς καὶ μέλανος ἐπιχρώζοντος τὸ ὕδωρ. Τὸ δὲ μέλαν χρῶμα συνακολουθεῖ τοῖς στοιχείοις εἰς ἄλληλα μεταβαλλόντων. Τὰ δ᾽ ἄλλα ἐκ τούτων εὐσύνοπτα τῇ μίξει κεραννυμένων ἀλλήλοις γίνεται. Τὸ δὲ σκότος ἐκλείποντος τοῦ φωτὸς γίνεται. Τριχῶς γὰρ τὸ μέλαν ἡμῖν φαίνεται. ῍Η γὰρ ὅλως τὸ μὴ ὁρώμενόν ἐστι τῇ φύσει μέλαν (ἁπάντων γὰρ τῶν τοιούτων ἀνακλᾶταί τι φῶς μέλαν), ἢ ἀφ᾽ ὦν μηδὲν ὅλως φέρεται φῶς πρὸς τὰς ὄψεις· τὸ γὰρ μὴ ὁρώμενον, ὅταν ὁ περιέχων τόπος ὁρᾶται,…","divisions":[{"label":"Chapter 1","url":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0086.tlg007.local001/#tlg0086-tlg007-local001-1"},{"label":"Chapter 2","url":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0086.tlg007.local001/#tlg0086-tlg007-local001-2"},{"label":"Chapter 3","url":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0086.tlg007.local001/#tlg0086-tlg007-local001-3"},{"label":"Chapter 4","url":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0086.tlg007.local001/#tlg0086-tlg007-local001-4"},{"label":"Chapter 5","url":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0086.tlg007.local001/#tlg0086-tlg007-local001-5"},{"label":"Chapter 6","url":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0086.tlg007.local001/#tlg0086-tlg007-local001-6"}],"formats":{"html":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0086.tlg007.local001/","json":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/api/works/tlg0086.tlg007.local001.json","compressedReadingDocument":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0086/tlg007/local001.json.gz"}}
