5. AD 77–79, the Elder|Gaius Plinius Secundus (author), Karl Friedrich Theodor Mayhoff (editor), ''History (Pliny)|Naturalis Historia'' (1906), book XXXII, chapter xii:

geminus similiter victus in aquis terraque et testudinum effectusque par, honore habendo vel propter excellens in usu pretium figuraeque proprietatem. sunt ergo testudinum genera terrestres, marinae, lutariae et quae in dulci aqua vivunt. has quidam e graecis emydas appellant.

: The tortoise, too, is an animal that is equally amphibious with the beaver, and possessed of medicinal properties as strongly developed; in addition to which, it claims an equal degree of notice for the high price which luxury sets upon its shell, and the singularity of its conformation. Of tortoises, there are various kinds, land tortoises, sea tortoises, tortoises which live in muddy waters, and tortoises which live in fresh; these last being known to some Greek authors by the name of “emydes.” ― translation from: Bostock (physician)|John Bostock and (w), ''The Natural History'' (1855), book XXXII: “Remedies Derived from Aquatic Animals”, chapter xiv (iv): ‘The Tortoise: Sixty-Six Remedies and Observations’
