Itaque tectores, cum volunt sil atticum imitari, violam aridam coicientes in vas cum aqua, confervefaciunt ad ignem, deinde, cum est temperatum, coiciunt <in> linteum, et inde manibus exprimentes recipiunt in mortarium aquam ex violis coloratam, et eo cretam infundentes et eam terentes efficiunt silis attici colorem.
When the stucco painters wish to imitate Attic ochre, they put dried yellow violets into a vessel with water and boil them. Then, when it is ready, it is poured on a cloth and squeezed by hand. They receive in a mortar the water coloured by the violets, and pouring chalk into it and rubbing it, they obtain the colour of Attic ochre.
