Pliny the Elder, The Natural History (ed. John Bostock, M.D., F.R.S., H.T. Riley, Esq., B.A.), BOOK II. AN ACCOUNT OF THE WORLD AND THE ELEMENTS., CHAP. 4. (5.)—OF THE ELEMENTSThe account of the elements, of their nature, difference, and, more
especially, the necessity of their being four, are fully discussed by
Aristotle in various parts of his works, more particularly in his treatise
De Cœlo, lib. iii. cap. 3, 4 and 5, lib. iv. cap. 5, and De Gener. et Cor.

Aristotle, doctrines of, p. 2. 1. 7, and to Enfield , i. 764 AND THE PLANETSAlthough the word planh/ths, is
inserted in the title of this chapter, it does not occur in any part of the

believe, was it used by any of their contemporaries, except Hyginus, p. 76.
The planets were generally styled Cicero , De Nat. Deor. ii. 51, and in Seneca , Nat. Quæst. vii. 24. Pliny ,
by including the sun and moon, makes the number seven. Aratus calls
them pe/nt' a)/steres, l. 454. . (search)
