Item, aquarum ductiones et cetera, quae eiusmodi sunt, nota oportet sint architectis, uti ante caveant quam instituant aedificia, ne controversiae factis operibus patribus familiarum relinquantur, et ut legibus scribendis prudentia cavere possit et locatori et conductori;

Again, in writing the specifications, careful regard is to be paid both to the employer and to the contractor.
