[125] τὸ γοῦν ἡμέτερον χρῶμα ἀλλοῖον μὲν ὁρᾶται ἐν ἀλεεινῷ ἀέρι, ἀλλοῖον δὲ ἐν τῷ] ψυχρῷ, καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἔχοιμεν εἰπεῖν ὁποιον
ἔστι τῇ φύσει τὸ χρῶμα ἡμῶν, ἀλλ’ ὁποῖον σὺν ἑκάστῳ τούτων θεωρεῖται. καὶ ἡ αὐτὴ φωνὴ ἀλλοία μὲν φαίνεται σὺν λεπτῷ ἀέρι, ἀλλοία δὲ σὺν παχυμερεῖ, καὶ τὰ ἀρώματα ἐν βαλανείῳ καὶ ἡλίῳ πληκτικώτερα μᾶλλόν ἐστιν ἢ ἐν ἀέρι καταψύχρῳ, καὶ τὸ σῶμα ὑπὸ ὕδατος μὲν περιεχόμενον
κοῦφόν ἐστιν, ὑπὸ δὲ ἀέρος βαρύ.

[125] Thus, our own complexion is of one hue in warm air, of another in cold, and we should not be able to say what our complexion really is, but only what it looks like in conjunction with each of these conditions. And the same sound appears of one sort in conjunction with rare air and of another sort with dense air; and odours are more pungent in a hot bath-room or in the sun than in chilly air; and a body is light when immersed in water but heavy when surrounded by air.
