According to Juba, sandarach and ochra are both of them productions of the island of Topazus, [Note] in the Red Sea; but neither of them are imported to us from that place. The
mode of preparing sandarach we have described [Note] already: there is a spurious kind also, prepared by calcining ceruse in the furnace. This substance, to be good, ought to be of a flame colour; the price of it is five asses per pound.
