Punica mala et in harena iam decerpta ac matura et etiam immatura, cum haereant in sua virga et demiseris in ollam sine fundo, eaque si coieceris in terram et obleris circum ramum, ne extrinsecus spiritus adflet, ea non modo integra eximi, sed etiam maiora, quam in arbore umquam pependerint.
Pomegranates are also kept in sand if they are stored freshly gathered and ripe; green ones also, if you keep them on the branch, put them in a pot with no bottom, bury them in the ground, and seal the ends of the branches so that no outside air can reach them; such fruits will be taken out not only sound but even larger than they would ever be if they had hung on the tree.
