Non scitis palmulas careotas Syrias parere in Iudaea, in Italia non posse? Sed Scrofa, Si exigere mavis sine mulorum fetura et nutricatu numerum octoginta et unum, est qui expleas duplicem istam lacunam, quod extraordinariae fructum species duae accedunt magnae, quarum una est tonsura, quod oves ac capras detondunt aut vellunt; altera, quae latius patet, de lacte et caseo, quam scriptores Graeci separatim  appellaverunt ac scripserunt de ea re permulta.
Surely you are aware that the date-palms of Syria bear fruit in Judea but cannot in Italy. Scrofa, however, remarked: If you insist on having 81 sub-heads, omitting the breeding and feeding of mules, you may easily fill that double gap; two very important sources of revenue fall outside the enumeration. There is the shearing'the clipping or pulling of wool and goat hair'and another, which is even more important, the matter of milk and cheese. The Greek authorities treat this as a separate topic, calling it tyropoiia (cheese-making), and have had a great deal to say about it.
