Polyclitus says, that the water2974 of the river Liparis,2975 near Soli, in Cilicia, is used as a substitute for oil, and Theophrastus mentions a spring of that name in Æthiopia, which is possessed of similar properties. Lycus says, that at Tasitia2976 there is a fountain of it, the water of which emits light: the same is asserted, too, of a spring at Ecbatana.
