Cassius secundum columbinum scribit esse hominis, tertio caprinum et ovillum et asininum, minime bonum equinum, sed in segetes; in prata enim vel optimum, ut ceterarum veterinarum, quae hordeo pascuntur, quod multam facit herbam.
Cassius states that next to pigeon dung human excrement is the best, and in the third place goat, sheep, and ass dung; that horse dung is least valuable, but good on grain land; for on meadows it is the most valuable of all, as is that of all draught animals which feed on barley, because it produces a quantity of grass.
