[5] Populus, quia raram, neque idoneam frondem pecori praebet, a plerisque repudiata est. Fraxinus, quia capris et ovibus gratissima est, nec inutilis bubus, locis asperis et ¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷ montosis, quibus minus laetatur ulmus, recte seritur. Ulmus, quod et vitem commodissime patitur, et iucundissimum pabulum bubus affert, variisque generibus soli provenit, a plerisque praefertur. Itaque si ⁸arbustum novum instituere cordi est, seminaria ulmorum vel fraxinorum parentur ea ratione, quam deinceps subscripsimus. Nam populi melius cacuminibus in arbusto protinus deponuntur.
