To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Iii. 1, 13 : Quod neque sum cedro flavus nee pumice levis ; Erubui domino cultior esse meo.
When the book was filled with writing to the end, a stick or reed was probably fastened to its last leaf or strip, and around this it was coiled. [Porphyr. Ad Hor. Epod. 18, 8, in fine libri umbilici ex ligno aut osse fieri solebant. ~] These reeds, which are still visible on the Herculanean rolls, did not project on either side beyond the roll, but had their extremities in the same plane as the base of
...the cylinder. They are supposed to be what the ancients called umbi- licus. See Winkelm. Ii. 231 ; Mitsch. On Hor. Epod. Xiv. 8 ; and certainly expressions such as ad umbilicum adducere (Horace), and jam pervenimus usque ad umbilicos, support this supposition. The expression would not be an unfit one for the cavity in the centre of SCENE III. ] THE BOOKS. 329 each disc ; but if we consider that Martial, in recounting the various ornaments belonging to a book, always mentions umbilici, and never cornua though this latter word is always used by Tibullus and Ovid, for whom indeed the word umbilicus was not adapted (see the passages quoted below), we must be convinced that both terms signify the same thing.
