Translation of "pliny" to Japanese language:
Examples (External sources, not reviewed)
| According to the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder, citizens of the Empire believed that limestone from a quarry near Troy would dissolve flesh. | 帝国の市民は トロイの近くの採石場からの石灰岩は 肉体を蝕むと考えていたといいます |
| Though it's unclear if the belief was widespread or even accurately reported by Pliny, what is certain is that sarkophagus came from the Greek words sark, meaning flesh, and phagein, a verb meaning to eat. | プリニウスが明確に述べたのかは はっきりしませんが わかっているのは sarkophagus が 肉体 を意味する |
