Thuria and Calaminari are named materials in the account of producing reddish electrum from copper. The supplied edition retains their historical names because the passage alone does not securely determine a modern composition for each. Their immediate lexical function is as materials in a gold-like-alloy claim, not as proof that the product is gold or a natural gold–silver alloy.
