Latine · Mayhoff 1906
Praeterea quasdam proprietates quibusdam locis esse, roscidas aestate Africae noctes, in ItaliaLocris et in lacu Velino nullo non die apparere arcus, Rhodi et Syracusis numquam tanta nubila obduci, ut non aliqua hora sol cernatur, qualia aptius suis referentur locis. haec sint dicta de aëre.
English · Bostock & Riley 1855–57
There are, moreover, certain peculiarities in certain places. In Africa dew falls during the night in summer. In Italy, at Locri, and at the Lake Velinum, there is never a day in which a rainbow is not seen. At Rhodes and at Syracuse the sky is never so covered with clouds, but that the sun is visible at one time or another; these things, however, will be better detailed in their proper place. So far respecting the air.
