• αʹ Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia 37.10:

Quae vero sine vitio sint, pura esse malunt, acenteta appellantes, nec spumei coloris, sed limpidae aquae.

Those [crystals] which are in fact flawless are preferred uncut, being called acenteta, and they are not cloudy in color, but of the color of clear water.
