1.56
After Scepsis come Andeira and Pioniae and the territory of Gargara. There is a stone in the neighborhood of Andeira which, when burned, becomes iron, and then, when heated in a furnace with a certain earth, distils mock-silver;i.e., zinc. and this, with the addition of copper, makes the “mixture,” as it is called, which by some is called “mountaincopper.”The Latin term is orichaleum. These are the places which the Leleges occupied; and the same is true of the places in the neighborhood of Assus.
