 if it is to the north it is only a line it does not go wide. to the north are the tops of the trees. this is because the dirt gathers in front of it and is scattered by the trees. if the trees are large they will have spores. if they are small the dirt will be equal to their branches and there are no tops to the south. you see what is to the south of it naked exposed and fossilized.
وإن كانت شمالا، فانما يكون خطا، لا يذهب عرضا. وللشمال ذرى الشجر. وذلك أن يجتمع التراب من قبلها فيستذرى بالشجر. فان كان الشجر عظاما، كانت له جراثيم. وإن كان صغارا، ساوى التراب غصونه ولا ذرى للجنوب. ترى ما يلى الجنوب منها عاريا مكشوفا متحفرا.
