“Reddetur et per se cyanos, accommodato paulo ante et iaspidi nomine a colore caeruleo. optima Scythica, dein Cypria, postremo Aegyptia. adulteratur maxime tinctura, idque in gloria est regum Aegypti; adscribitur et qui primus tinxit. dividitur autem et haec in mares feminasque. inest ei aliquando et aureus pulvis, non qualis sappiris; in his enim aurum punctis conlucet.”
