名詞

hēpatizon n sg (genitive hēpatizontis); third declension

1. liver-coloured Corinthian bronze
   • C.E. 79, Pliny the Elder, chapter IV, in Karl Friedrich Theodor Mayhoff, editor, Naturalis Historia [Natural History], Book XXXIV, Leipzig: Teubner, published 1906:

     praeter haec est cuius ratio non potest reddi, quamquam hominis manu est; at fortuna temperatur in simulacris signisque illud suo colore pretiosum ad iocineris imaginem vergens, quod ideo hepatizon appellant, procul a corinthio, longe tamen ante aegineticum atque deliacum, quae diu optinuere principatum.

     Besides these, there is another mixture, the composition of which it is impossible to describe, for although it has been formed into images and statues by the hand of man, it is chance that rules in the formation of the compound. This last is highly prized for its colour, which approaches to that of liver, and it is on this account that it is called "hepatizon:" it is far inferior to the Corinthian metal, but much superior to the Æginetan and Delian, which long held the first rank.[1]
