ἀλλὰ τὰ μέρη μετατίθεσθαι; μενεῖ μὲν οὖν ἐν ὁμοίῳ τοὺς τόπους οὐκ ἐναλλάττοντα· οὐ γὰρ ἐποχήσεταί ποτε οὔτε ὕδατι πᾶσα γῆ οὔθ’ ὕδωρ ἀέρι οὔτε ἀὴρ πυρί, ἀλλὰ τὰ μὲν φύσει βαρέα, γῆ καὶ ὕδωρ, τὸν μέσον ἐφέξει τόπον, γῆς μὲν θεμελίου τρόπον ὑπερειδούσης, ὕδατος δ’ ἐπιπολάζοντος, ἀὴρ δὲ καὶ πῦρ, τὰ φύσει κοῦφα, τὸν ἄνω, πλὴν οὐχ ὁμοίως· ἀὴρ γὰρ πυρὸς ὄχημα γέγονε, τὸ δ’ ἐποχούμενον ἐξ ἀνάγκης ὑπερφέρεται.
