........................................................................ δύναμις· μετὰ δὲ τὴν ἐργασίαν τὸ ψιμμίον ὕδατι ὑετίῳ γλυκιζόμενον, καὶ ἐώμενον καταστῆναι· τὸ δὲ ὕδωρ ἀπόχεε ἀπ' αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὑρίσκεται πάνυ λευκότατον· καὶ ἡ λιθάργυρος ἡ κοινὴ μολύβδου ἐστὶν, θαυμαστὴν δύναμιν ἔχει, κοινωνίαν ποιούμενος τῷ ὄξει· ἡ γὰρ καὶ αὐτὸ ἀσώματον εὑρίσκεται, ἁλμιζόμενον δὲ καὶ γλυκιζόμενον, καὶ αὐτὴ λευκοτάτη εὑρίσκεται καὶ πάνυ παρεμφαίνουσα τὸ ψιμμίθιον. Θαυμάζω δὲ καὶ τὸ σηρικὸν πῶς ἐν τῷ πυρὶ ξανθοῦται, καὶ τὸ σανδαράχην δύναμιν ἔχει θαυμαστήν.
