[10] So also Fronto in his _De differentiis Vocabulorum_, published by Cardinal Mai from palimpsests, says: “Vultus proprie hominis—os omnium—facies plurium.” [11] According to Æschines, in his oration against Ctesiphon, Miltiades desired that his name should be inscribed on this portrait statue, which was placed in the Pœcile; but the Athenians refused their permission. [12] See _Cicero ad Atticum_, xii. 41. [13] iii. 12, § 13; viii. 14, § 5. [14] _Geschichte der griechischen Künstler_, vol. i. p. 403. [15] vii. 3, ii 8. See, also, Pliny, xxv. 49. [16] See, also, an account of these “imagines” in Polybius, vi. 53. [17] Et quoniam animorum imagines non sunt, negliguntur etiam corporum. Aliter apud majores, in atriis hæc erant quæ spectarentur, non signa externorum artificum, nec æra aut marmora. Expressi cera vultus singulis disponebantur armariis ut essent imagines quæ comitarentur gentilicia funera.—Book 35, ch. 2. [18] Διαφέρην δὲ δοκεῖ καὶ πρὸς τὰ ἀπομάγματα πολὺ τῶν ἀλλῶν.

[22] As Lysistratus and his brother lived about the 114th Olympiad (324 B. C.), if these works found at Kertch were plaster _casts_, it is plain that Lysistratus did not invent casting, since these were before his time; and if Pliny means to say that he did, he is evidently quite wrong. [23] Pliny says “exemplar.” [24] Ἐτύγχανον μὲν ἄρτι χαλκουργῶν ὕπο Πιττούμενος στέρνον τε καὶ μετάφρενον· Θώραξ δέ μοι γελοῖος ἀμφὶ σώματι Πλασθεῖς παρῃώρητο μιμήλῃ τέχνῃ Σφραγῖδα χαλκοῦ πᾶσαν ἐκτυπούμενος.
