      114th Olympiad (<hi rend="ital">H. N.</hi> 34.8. s. 19.) He devoted himself entirely to the
      making of portraits, and, if we may believe Pliny, his portraits were nothing more than exact
      likenesses, without any ideal beauty. (<hi rend="ital">Hic et similitudinem reddere instituit:
       ante eum quam pulcherrimas facere studebant.</hi>) He was the first who took a cast of <pb n="873"/> the human face in gypsum; and from this mould he produced copies by pouring into it
      melted wax. (<bibl n="Plin. Nat. 35.12.44">Plin. Nat. 35.12. s. 44</bibl>.) He made a statue
      of Melanippe. (Tatian. <hi rend="ital">ad v. Graec.</hi> 54, p. 117, ed. Worth.) </p><byline>[<ref target="author.P.S">P.S</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
