Haydock's commentary
Fine brass (aurichalco.) Some pretended that gold was mixed with this sort of brass. But Pliny ([Natural History?] xxxiv. 2.) informs us that it came out of the mines, without dross.
Hebrew, "polished (or refined) brass." (Calmet)
It might resemble the Corinthian brass. (Menochius)
