quodam nomen accepit, in:
gentes illas columnarum
massas, percussu sonitum
campanae aemulantes, et
lotam cavernae materiam
vastosque parietes quasi
gultatim collectos, Sropsotem
vocant id est stalactiten.
quod spathi mollioris genus
videtur, stiriarum specie
in ipsa caveina
quanquam non deorsum tan-
tum respiciant, sed et in
latus saepe immo et in
superiora acuminentur,
nec semper velut ex alti-
ore loco, accumulatae con-
sistant partes, sed sut rup.
tis fragminibus apparuiti
radios, folia, strias in omnes
plagas protendant. Unum
ipse frustum de caverna
in ducem proferri mecum
jussi, cumque accuratius
inspicerem, ecce ostendunt
se se alveoli quedam, in iso.
sa sadei superficie ad ca:
vernulae modum intror
sum recedentes, qua les in
spatho fodinarum detectos
et saepe peramplos, metallir
colae nostri Drusus vocant
Vestiuntur intus ambientibus
