arborem alia integere (after Plin.): *aliquid vilius ligno pretiosius cortice facere; or (if the reading of Salmasius be adopted) vilioris ligni e pretiosiore corticem facere (Vid: quotation at end of article): ligna tenui bractea tegere or lignum vilius pretiosioris ligni bractea tegere or integere (- tenuis bractea ligna tegat Ov.; where however bractea is a thin plate of metal; it is also however used for a thin piece of wood as in the following passage of Plin. which is a locus classicus on veneering: haec prima origo luxuriae arborem alia integi et viliores ligno pretiosiores cortice fieri. Ut una arbor saepius veniret excogitatae sunt ligni bracteae; Hist. Nat. 16 43 84. Salmasius reads vilioris ligni e pretiosiore corticem fieri.

Ut una arbor saepius veniret, excogitatae sunt et ligni bracteae," Plin. 16, 43, 84, § 84, Sillig.
