Quoniam haec a nobis sunt breviter exposita, ut facilius intellegatur, visum est mihi in extremo volumine formas sive uti Graeci schemata dicunt, duo explicare, unum ita deformatum, ut appareat, unde certi ventorum spiritus oriantur, alterum, quemadmodum ab impetu eorum aversis derectionibus vicorum et platearum evitentur nocentes flatus.
Since these matters have been briefly set forth by us, in order that it may be more easily understood I have decided at the end of the book to furnish two plans, or as the Greeks say schemata: one so mapped out that it may appear whence the certain breezes of the winds arise; the second, how by layings out of quarters and streets turned away from their violence, dangerous currents may be avoided.
