    • 1931, Aristotle, translated by E.W. Webster, Meteorologica, Bk. IV, ch. 6:
      Natron and salt are soluble by liquid, but not all liquid but only such as is cold. Hence water and any of its varieties melt them, but oil does not.
    • 1974, Lawrence Durrell, Monsieur, Faber & Faber, published 1992, page 242:
      You know the mysterious idols they were supposed to set up to worship in their chapters – were they really human heads treated with natron after the Ancient Egyptian pattern – idols of Persian or Syrian provenance?
