Itaque, Stolo inquit, proposita magnitudine fundi de eo genere Cato scribit, oliveti iugera CCXL qui coleret, eum instruere ita oportere, ut faceret vasa olearia iuga quinque, quae membratim enumerat, ut ex aere ahenea, urceos, nassiternam, item alia; sic e ligno et ferro, ut plostra maiora tria, aratra cum vomeribus sex, crates stercorarias quattuor, item alia; sic de ferramentis quae sint et qua opus multitudine, ut ferreas octo, sarcula totidem, dimidio minus palas, item alia, Item alteram formulam instrumenti fundi vinarii fecit, in qua scribit, si sit C iugerum, habere oportere vasa torcularia instructa trina, dolia cum operculis culleorum octingentorum, acinaria viginti, frumentaria viginti, item eius modi alia.
Accordingly, said Stolo, under this head Cato, fixing a definite size for his farm, writes that one who has under cultivation 240 iugera of olive land should equip it by assembling five complete sets of oil-pressing equipment; and he itemizes such equipment, as, copper kettles, pots, a pitcher with three spouts, and so forth; then implements made of wood and iron, as three large carts, six ploughs and ploughshares, four manure hampers, and so forth; then the kind and number of iron tools needed, as eight forks, as many hoes, half as many shovels, and so forth. He likewise gives a second schedule for a vineyard, in which he writes that if it be one of 100 iugera it should have three complete pressing equipments, vats and covers to hold 800 cullei, twenty grape hampers, twenty grain hampers, and other like implements.
