[13] Attamen quia id facere gregibus amplis videtur 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [p. 298] operosum, commodissimum est haras ita fabricare, ut limen earum 8in tantam altitudinem consurgat, quantam 9possit nutrix evadere; lactens autem supergredi 10non possit. Sic nec alienus irrepit, et in cubili suam quisque matrem nidus11expectat, qui tamen non debet octo capitum numerum excedere: non quia ignorem fecunditatem scrofarum maioris esse numeri, sed quia celerrime fatiscit, quae plures educat. Atque eae quibus partus submittitur, cocto sunt hordeo sustinendae, ne ad maciem summam perducantur,12et ex ea ad aliquam perniciem.
