Book XVI, 230
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. V, 1918)
Traveller, drink not here in the solitude this warm water so full of mud from the torrent, but go a little farther over this hill whereon the heifers are grazing, and by the shepherds’ pine there thou wilt find a fountain bubbling up through the generous rock, colder than the snow from the north.
