Cum ergo tam magna potentia reges non contempserint latericiorum parietum structuras, quibus et vectigalibus et praeda saepius licitum fuerat non modo caementicio aut quadrato saxo sed etiam marmoreo habere, non puto oportere inprobare quae sunt e latericia structura facta aedificia, dummodo recte sint tecta.
Since, therefore, kings of very great power have not disdained walls built of brick (in cases where wealth gained by taxation and plunder allowed the use not only of rubble or squared stone, but even of marble), I do not think that buildings which are made of brick walls are to be disregarded so long as they are duly roofed.
