Excerpt from The Fragments of the Work of Heraclitus of Ephesus on Nature: Translated From the Greek Text of Bywater, With an Introduction Historical and Critical
The collection of sources is wholly that of Mr. Bywater. In these I have made a translation, not of all the references, but only of those from which the fragment is immediately taken, adding others only in cases of especial interest.
