31.16 CHAP. 16.—WATERS WHICH THROW UP STONES. WATERS WHICH CAUSE LAUGHTER AND WEEPING. WATERS WHICH ARE SAID TO BF CURATIVE OF LOVE.

Theophrastus makes mention of the fountain of Marsyas,

-- 5479 --

near the city of Cellenæ, in Phrygia, which throws up masses of stone. Not far from it are two other springs, called Clæon [Note] and Gelon by the Greeks, from the effects which they respectively produce. At Cyzicus is a fountain known as that of Cupido, the waters of which, Mucianus believes, [Note] cure those who drink thereof of love.
