[69] Reading πρὸς ταῦτα λυθήσεται, which, as Mr. G. D. Lord suggests
to me, is probably the source of the corruption προστανλυθήσεται. The
Vatican vulgate combines both readings.
[70] The paraphrase above (Fr. 3) gives the argument in fuller form.
[71] Zeller i.⁵ 613 n. 1 suggests ὑπ’ ἰοῦ ῥέων, ‘passing away because of

[79] θνητά, ‘perishable things’ in contrast with the elements, might
almost be rendered ‘things on the earth.’
[80] φύσις here seems to mean ‘nature,’ and not ‘origin.’
[81] θάμνος, ‘bush,’ I have rendered regularly ‘plant.’
[82] Cf. Aet. v. 19; _Dox._ 430.
[83] Cf. Cicero, _Tusc._ I. 9: ‘Empedocles animum esse censet cordi
suffusum sanguinem.’

[85] Cf. Galen, _Hist. Phil._ 118; _Dox._ 642.
[86] Reading κινούμενον with Diels.
[87] I.e. things are called after the element or elements (homoeomeries)
which predominate in their make-up.
