Sunt autem et alia multa genera, quae habent suas proprietates, ut in Sicilia flumen est Himeras, quod, a fonte cum est progressum, dividitur in duas partes; quae pars profluit contra Etruriam, quod per terrae dulcem sucum percurrit, est infinita dulcedine, quae altera parte per eam terram currit, unde sal foditur, salsum habet saporem.
There are many other kinds of water which have their properties. In Sicily, the river Himeras, on leaving its source, divides into two branches: one flows towards the coast which faces Etruria and is of infinite sweetness, because it runs through the sweet juices of the soil; the other stream which runs through the other part where there are salt mines has a salt flavour.
