ἄλλοι δʼ αὖ καὶ νεκρὸν ἐφήμισαν εἵνεκʼ ἀφαυροῦ· ἀμφότερα διὰ τὸ ψυχρὸν τῶν τόπων· πήγνυται γάρ. καὶ λέγεται Κρόνιος πόντος, ὡς μέν τινές φασι, διὰ τὸ τὸν Κρόνον εἰς τὴν ψύξιν ἀλληγορεῖσθαι· νεκρὸν δὲ διὰ τὴν ἀπόστασιν τοῦ ἡλίου καὶ τὸ προσκεχωρηκέναι πρὸς τὰ νότια μέρη· τῇ γὰρ ἀπουσίᾳ τοῦ θερμοῦ τὰ ζωογονούμενα παύεται· ἢ λέγει, ὅτι διὰ τὸ ἀσθενὲς ἐκεῖ προσβάλλειν τὸν ἥλιον. διὰ πολλοῦ γὰρ χρόνου ὑπὲρ τὴν θάλασσαν ἐκείνην γίνεται, τουτέστι πλησιάζει. λάμπει μὲν γὰρ καθʼ ἑκάστην ἀδιαλείπτως διὰ τὸν πλεῖστον χρόνον.
