Etiamque est in Cappadocia in itinere, quod est inter Mazaca et Tyana, lacus amplus, in quem lacum pars sive harundinis sive alii generis si dimissa fuerit et postero die exempta, ea pars, quae fuerit exempta, invenietur lapidea, quae autem pars extra aquam manserit, permanet in sua proprietate.
Again, in Cappadocia, on the road between Mazaca and Tyana, there is a great lake; if part of a reed or any other substance is let fall into it and taken out the next day, it is turned to stone, and the part which remains outside the water stays as it is.
