Itaque cum putarem esse rerum rusticarum, quae constituta sunt fructus causa, tria genera, unum de agri cultura, alterum de re pecuaria, tertium de villaticis pastionibus, tres libros institui, e quis duo scripsi, primum ad Fundaniam uxorem de agri cultura, secundum de pecuaria ad Turranium Nigrum; qui reliquus est tertius de villaticis fructibus, in hoc ad te mitto, quod visus sum debere pro nostra vicinitate et amore scribere potissimum ad te.
Hence, as I suggested that there are three divisions of rural economy which are instituted for gainful ends'one of agriculture, a second of animal husbandry, and a third of the husbandry of the steading'I fixed on three books, of which I have written two: the first to my wife Fundania, on agriculture, and the second to Turranius Niger, on animal husbandry. The third book, that on the husbandry of the steading, which remains, I am herewith sending to you, thinking that in view of our nearness and our affection it is to you particularly that I should dedicate it.
