Pumex

Pumex e monte Nivario

Pumex est saxum igneum, genus vitri vulcanici; lava, quae cito refriguit, est. Lapis est asper, cavernosissimus, spongiosissmus et levissimus; pumex in aqua natat, donec madescit. Colores habet gilvum vel fuscum vel caesium canescentem.

Pumex ad poliendum conformatus

Pumice antiquitus cutes et membranae poliebantur, ne aspera sint. Saepius libelli pumice expoliti a poetis Romanis memorantur. Catullus dicit:

Cui dono lepidum novum libellum,
Arida modo pumice expolitum?[1]

necnon:

...cartae regiae, novi libri,

novi umbilici, lora rubra, membranae,

derecta plumbo et pumice omnia aequata.[2]

Martialis addit:

...liber aspero
Morsu pumice aridi politus.[3]

Ovidius in Tristiis:

Nec fragili geminae poliantur pumice frontes[4].
