The Arabs. after the eighth century, in-

They were supposed to contain extraor-

different motive inspired a different ser

tradition that Cleopatra dissolved her

abie. for the reason that the gems do not
dissolve without being previously pulver-
lied. They readily mix when powdered,
however, and Sir Thomas Gresham 10
