The screw of Archimedes is as ancient, at least, as the age of that mathematician, who died more than 2,000 years ago. Diodorus Siculus speaks of it, l, i, p, 21, and l. v., p. 217, of Stevens edition of 1559, folio and Vitruvius, xii. The cutting of its spiral worm into sections for conveying flour or grain, seems to have been an invention of Mr, Evans, and to be a fair subject of a patent right. But it cannot take away from others the use of Archimedes screw with its perpetual spiral, for any purposes of which it is susceptible. 

While the Sicilian sulfur industry is often mentioned as thriving during Roman times, or even before, the ancient literature makes no mention of this. The relevant references where such documentation would have been expected to be foimd are the works of Strabo, who summarized the geography of the Roman world Diodorus Siculus, who wrote a comprehensive history of the world and Pliny, the prolific compiler of global knowledge. 

If any classical writer would have mentioned the sulfur mines of Sicily, it would have been expected to be Diodorus Siculus (fl. 50 B.C.), who was from Sicily. He mentions the mining of tin in Britain, tin and silver mining in Spain, iron mines in Elba, and gold mines in Egypt, but nothing about sulfur, even in his home country.
