Stolo, Cato quidem, inquit, gradatim praeponens alium alio agrum meliorem dicit esse in novem discriminibus, quod sit primus ubi vineae possint esse bono vino et multo, secundus ubi hortus inriguus, tertius ubi salicta, quartus ubi oliveta, quintus ubi pratum, sextus ubi campus frumentarius, septimus ubi caedua silva, octavus ubi arbustum, nonus ubi glandaria silva.
Cato, you know, interjected Stolo, in arranging plots according to the degree of excellence, formed nine categories: first, land on which the vines can bear a large quantity of wine of good quality; second, land suited for a watered garden; third, for an osier bed; fourth, for olives; fifth, for meadows; sixth, for a grain field; seventh, for a wood lot: eighth, for an orchard; ninth, for a mast grove.
