Note 1562 — BOOK XXXIV. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF METALS.
John Bostock translation
“Scopas uterque.” Sillig, Dict. Ancient Artists, expresses an opinion that these words are an interpolation; but in his last edition of Pliny, he thinks with M. Ian, that some words are wanting, expressive of the branch in which these artists excelled. See also B. xxxvi. cc. 5, 14.
