Θρήισσαν: ἡ δὲ Θρήισσα λίθος ἐστίν, ἥτις βραχεῖσα τῷ ὕδατι καίεται. ὅτε δὲ εἰς αὐτὴν ἔλαιον βληθῇ, σβέννυται. Ἀριστοτέλης δέ φησι (mirab. auscult. 125) τοῦτον τὸν ποταμὸν τὸν Πόντον ἐν Μηδικῇ καὶ Ἰνδικῇ εἶναι, ἐν ᾧ καὶ ὁ λίθος οὗτος γεννᾶται, οὗ ἡ μὲν ὀσμὴ ἀσφαλτώδης καὶ δριμεῖα, ἡ δὲ φύσις αὐτοῦ σύμπηξιν γεώδη ἀσφάλτου ξηρᾶς πρὸς τὸ λιθῶδες ἔσχε, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐν ὕδατι ἀναφλέγεται μᾶλλον. ἡ γὰρ ἰκμὰς ἰσχὺν τῇ ἀσφάλτῳ προστίθησι καὶ τὸ ξηρὸν αὐτῆς ἐκκαὲς ποιεῖ.
