Tertullian,
Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. III, Anti-Marcion…
(1885)
“ She had salt tear-drops, she had bitter, and sweet, and warm, and cold, and bituminous, and ferruginous, and sulphurous, and even [7] poisonous, so that the Nonacris exuded therefrom which killed Alexander; and the river of the Lyncestæ [8] flowed from the same source, which produces drunkenness; and the Salmacis [9] was derived from the same source, which renders men effeminate. The rains of heaven Achamoth whimpered forth, [10] and we on our part are anxiously employed in saving up in our cisterns the very wails and tears of another. ”
