Quarta: agricultura.
The Four Kinds of Agriculture
Agriculture is divided into four kinds: the tilled field for sowing, the planted plot for trees, pastureland, and the flowering kind for gardens.
There are four kinds of agriculture: the tilled field, set aside for sowing; the planted plot, devoted to trees—such as vineyards, orchards, and groves; pastureland, such as meadows, wooded glades, and rough wasteland; and the flowering kind, such as gardens and rose gardens.
Read the original Latin
Agricultura quattuor species habet: arvum agrum, qui sationi deputatur; et consitum, qui arboribus vacat, ut vineta, pomaria, nemora; pascuum, ut prata, tempe, tesqua; floridum, ut horti et rosaria.
