      • The Natural History of Pliny. Translated, with copious notes and illustrations by the late John Bostock and H. T. Riley. Vol. VI. With general index. London, 1857, p. 311:
        To the story chased upon the pedestal of the statue the name of the "Birth of Pandora"29 has been given; and the figures of new-born30 gods to be seen upon it are no less than twenty in number.
