Hello, Actual Alchemist, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Hello Actual Alchemist! I too have seen the title Physika kai Mystika translated in English as Natural and Secret Things, but then there are many different translations that various scholars use for this work (probably owing to the lack of a standard English translation of the work itself). But the thing here on Wikipedia is that when you change a title like that, other editors need to be able to verify that you're not changing it to some nonsense translation or to your own preferred translation (rather than to a scholarly one). For this reason, it's generally a bad idea to change something in this way without pointing out the reliable source you are taking it from.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask at any time, and I will try to help you best I can. Thanks, ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 05:27, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
