Historia

recensere

Superior Aegypti pars in Arabiam vergens gignit fruticem, quem aliqui gossipium vocant, plures xylon; et ideo lina inde facta, xylina. Parvus est, similemque barbatae nucis defert fructum, cuius ex interiore bombyce lanugo netur: nec ulla sunt eis in candore, mollitiave praeferenda. Vestes inde sacerdotibus Aegypti gratissimae fuerunt.
