In oporotheca mala manere putant satis commode alii in tabulis in opere marmorato, alii substrata palea vel etiam floccis; mala punica demissis suis surculis in dolio harenae, mala cotonea struthea in pensilibus iunctis; contra in sapa condita manere pira Aniciana sementiva; sorba quidam dissecta et in sole macerata, ut pira; et sorba per se, ubicumque sint posita in arido, facile durare; servare rapa consecta in sinape, nuces iugulandis in harena.
Some think that apples keep quite well in the gallery if placed on boards on the cement, but others lay them on straw, or even on wool; that pomegranates are preserved by burying their stems in a jar of sand, and large and small quinces in hanging baskets; while, on the other hand, late Anician pears keep best when put down in boiled must. Some hold that sorbs keep best when cut up and dried in the sun, like pears; and that sorbs are easily kept just as they are, wherever they are put, if the place is dry; that rape should be cut up and preserved in mustard, walnuts in sand.
