Notes: 11)

The phrase appears in NH, I, where Pliny lists
the contents of the other books: his wording is
'qui encausto cauterio vel cestro, vel penicilio
pinxerint'. The word cauterio needs to be stressed,
for in the developed discussion of the theme,
in XXXV, xli, 149, Pliny's text has been transcribed
as cera (wax), making nonsense of the listing of tools.
The correction was first suggested by Mayhoff in
E. Berger, Beitrage, and brought to my attention
by Barbara Borg.
