Nec enim differt, an extruas vel exornes, si templum, si aram, si aediculam eius instruxeris, si bratteam expresseris aut insignia aut etiam domum fabricaveris. Maior est eiusmodi opera, quae non effigiem confert, sed auctoritatem. Si ita necessitas exhibitionis extenditur, habent et alias species, quae sine exorbitatione disciplinae id est sine idoli confictura opem victus praestent. Scit albarius tector et tecta sarcire et tectoria inducere et cisternam liare et cymatia distendere et multa alia ornamenta ||f110 praeter simulacra parietibus incrispare. Scit et pictor et marmorarius et aerarius et quicumque caelator latitudines suas et utique multo faciliores.
