But Aristobulus of Cassandra says that there is a fountain in Miletus called the
 Achillean, the stream of which is very sweet, while the sediment is brackish: this
 is the water in which the Milesians say that their hero bathed when he had slain
 Trambelus the king of the Leleges. And they say, too, that the water in Cappadocia
 never becomes putrid, but there is a great deal in that district, of an admirable
 quality, though it has no outlet unless it flows underground. And Ptolemy the
 king, in the Seventh Book of his Commentaries, says that as you go to Corinth
 through the district called Contoporia, when you have got to the top of the
 mountain there is a fountain whose waters are colder than snow, so that many
 people are afraid to drink of it lest they should be frozen; but he says that he
 drank of it himself. And Phylarchus states that at Cleitor there is a spring which
 gives those who drink of it a distaste for the smell of wine. And Clearchus tells
 us that water is called white, like milk; and that wine is called red, like
 nectar; and that honey and oil are called yellow, and that the juice which is
 extracted from the myrtle-berry is black. Eubulus says that "water makes those who
 drink nothing else very ingenious, But wine obscures and clouds the mind;" and Philetas borrows not only the thought, but the lines.
