[8] Atque haec fere communia sunt in comparandis ovibus. Illa etiam tuendis: humilia facere stabula, sed in longitudinem potius quam in latitudinem porrecta,1ut simul et hieme calida sint, nec angustiae fetus oblidant.2Ea poni debent contra medium diem: namque id pecus, quamvis ex omnibus animalibus sit 3vestitissimum, frigoris tamen impatientissimum est, nec minus aestivi vaporis. Itaque cohors clausa sublimi macerie praeponi vestibulo debet, ut sit in eam tutus exitus aestuanti;4deturque opera, ne quis humor consistat, ut semper quam aridissimis filicibus 5vel culmis stabula constrata sint, quo purius 6et mollius incubent foetae, sintque illa 7mundissima, neque earum valetudo, ' quae praecipue custodienda est, infestetur uligine.
