Whereas Columella says that he is going to give the names of ten kinds, nine only are named. To complete the number Schneider inserts Algiana as the second name, but he gives no indication of the source from which he derived this name. The meaningless culi, which in the MSS. precedes the last name, is possibly a corruption of the missing tenth name.
