asphaltic

Resembling, containing, or relating to asphalt or bitumen.

asphaltic concrete; asphaltic sediment

The aggregated Soyle Death with his Mace petrific, cold and dry, As with a Trident smote, and fix’t as firm As Delos floating once; the rest his look Bound with Gorgonian rigor not to move, And with Asphaltic slime,

Of or relating to the Dead Sea (salt lake between Jordan and Israel).

As Sodomes Apples, neere th’Asphalticke lake, Of specious shew, yet touch’t, to ashes turning, So are sinnes poysons sweete, yet bane to take;

[…] who gather from the fragrant shrub The aromatic balsam, and extract Its milky juice along the lovely side Of winding Jordan, till immers’d it sleep Beneath the pitchy surface, which obscures Th’ Asphaltic lake.
