I just read that section in Gardner Read's Music Notation, and the proper marking is 8va, which means sometime in Italian or Latin that doesn't specify the direction (I just read it, I didn't say I remembered all of it). The direction is marked by the location of the dashed line (above or below the notes), the context of the instrument, and/or the addition of the word "basso".
