And Semus the Delian, in the second book of is Nesias. or treatise on Islands, says that in the island of Cimolus, cold places are prepared by being dug out against the summer, where people may put down vessels full of warm water, and then draw them up again in no respect different from snow. But warm water is called by the Athenians metaceras, a word used by Sophilus, in his Androcles. And Alexis says, in his Locrians— But the maid-servants pour'd forth water, One pouring boiling water, and the other warm. And Philemon, in his Corinthian Women, uses the same word. And Amphis says, in his Bath— One called out to the slaves to bring hot water, Another shouted for metaceras.
