Quoted text:
Plutarch’s Roman Questions #61 and Pliny’s Natural History (III.56) reported that a magistrate who improperly revealed the city’s secret name was executed for his indiscretion.
Can you help us check this Pliny citation? The original source (footnote 102 on page 212, corresponding to page 59 of Rykwert) seems to imply this is III.56 (originally III.65 was written, so we corrected it), but we were unable to verify in the original Pliny.
