Mitto illut, quod modum neque unum nec modicum proposuit CCXL iugerum (modicus enim centuria, et ea CC iugerum), e quo quom sexta pars sit ea XL, quae de CCXL demuntur, non video quem ad modum ex eius praecepto demam sextam partem et de XIII mancipiis, nihilo magis, si vilicum et vilicam removero, quem ad modum ex XI sextam partem demam.
I pass over the fact that the 240 iugera instanced is a plot which is neither a unit nor standard (the standard unit is the century, containing 200 iugera); when one-sixth, or 40 iugera, is deducted from this 240, I do not see how, according to his rule, I shall take one-sixth also from thirteen slaves, or, if I leave out the overseer and the housekeeper, how I shall take one-sixth from the eleven.
