Quotation
Λιθουργικὴ καὶ λιθοτριβικὴ διαφέρει. ἡ μὲν λιθουργική, ἣν ἐν τοῖς μετάλλοις ἐργάζονται οἱ τέμνοντες τοὺς λίθους, ἡ δὲ λιθοτριβική ἐστιν, ἣν μετίασιν οἱ καταξαίνοντες καὶ κοσμοῦντες τοὺς λίθους ὥστ' ἀπειληφέναι τὴν εὐπρέπειαν ἕκαστον τῶν ἔργων. Λυσίας ἐν τῷ πρὸς Ναυσίαν περὶ τοῦ τύπου· ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸ τρεῖς τέχνας ἐργάζεσθαι, τήν τε λιθουργικὴν καὶ λιθοτριβικὴν καὶ πρὸς τούτοις τὸ τετρυφηκέναι.
