[4] For a man without any skill may labour at taking care of the land; but if a man is called a husbandman, he, from his mere name, is believed to be no unskilful man, but a farmer of experience, inasmuch as his name ( γεωργός) has been derived from agricultural skill ( γεωργικὴ τέχνη), of which he is the namesake.
