Quotation
Deinde plurimo immorantes tempore, in insula invenisse lapidem, et delectatos colore eius repetisse domum, et Arabis negotiatoribus advenientibus vendidisse: ab illis emisse Philonem, et ad matrem Ptolomaei secundi, cui nomen erat Berenice, ab ipso esse perlatum: illam autem quamvis regalibus ornamentis abundaret; supra modum tamen colore eius stupefactam elaborasse ut diutius species tam pretiosi lapidis non lateret: ideoque studio eius quaesitum lapidem, in usus frequentiores venisse.
