Plutarch, Life of Cassius; ed. Reiske, vol. iii. p. 240. Strabo gives the following account of the appearance and condition of Vesuvius in his day: "Supra hæc loca situs est Vesuvius mons, agris cinctus optimis; dempto vertice, qui magna sui parte planus, totus sterilis est, adspectu sinereus, cavernasque ostendens fistularum plenas et lapidum colore fuliginoso, utpote ab igni exesorum.
"Eorundem Expositio." MS. in Bodleian. "Antidotarium." MS. in Caius College. To these he adds, on the authority of Bale and Pits: 7. "De Viribus Aquarum et Specierum." "De Proportione Fistularum." "De Judicio Patientis." "De Re Herbaria." "De Tuenda Valentudine." "De Particularibus Morbis." "Thesaurus Pauperum." All of these latter may be regarded as doubtful.
