[1] Stagnum censemus eximie optimum, quod sic positum est, ut insequens maris unda priorem submoveat, nec intra conseptum sinat remanere veterem. Namque id simillimum est pelago, quod agitatum ventis assidue renovatur, nec concalescere potest: quoniam gelidum ab imo fluctum revolvit in ¹² partem superiorem. Id autem stagnum vel exciditur ³in petra, cuius rarissima est occasio, vel in litore construitur opere signino.
