Fit quoque ut a lapide hoc ferri natura recedat interdum, fugere atque sequi consueta vicissim exultare etiam Samothracia ferrea vidi et ramenta simul ferri furere intus ahenis in scaphiis, lapis hic Magnes cum subditus esset: usque adeo fugere a saxo gestire videtur.
Sometimes also the iron recedes from this stone, being accustomed to flee and follow in turns, I have even seen Samothracian iron dance, and at the same time iron filings go mad in a bronze bowl, when this magnet stone was applied underneath: so eager seems the iron to escape from the stone.
