Nam quaecumque sunt, non possunt habere salubritatem, quod solis vehemens impetus propter nullam obstantiam umbrarum eripit exhauriendo fervens ex planitie camporum umorem, et si quae sunt aquae apparentes, ex his, quod est levissimum tenuissimumque et subtili salubritate, aer avocans dissipat in impetum caeli, quaeque gravissimae duraeque et insuaves sunt partes, eae in fontibus campestribus relinquuntur.
And what there is, cannot be wholesome, because, in the absence of shadow, the violent power of the sun catches and drains, by its heat, the moisture from the level fields. And if any water is visible, the air calls out the lightest, thinnest and most subtly wholesome part and dissipates it towards the sky; but the heaviest, the harsh and unpleasant parts, are left in the field springs.
