Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Een ruw, bont geschakeerd marmer, gedolven op het eiland Proconnesus (het tegenwoordige Turkse eiland Marmara Adasi), dat grijs, wit of wit met grijze strepen is. Grote hoeveelheden van dit marmer werden geïmporteerd in Griekenland en tot sarcofagen gehakt. Ook Cyzicaans marmer genoemd, omdat het zeer veel werd gebruikt in Cyzicus, het huidige Belkis. Het werd ook zeer veel gebruikt in Constantinopel. |
