COLUM. XI 3, 2 Democritus in eo libro quem Georgicon appellavit parum prudenter censet eos facere, qui hortis extruant munimenta, quod neque latere fabricata maceries perennare possit pluviis ac tempestatibus plerumque infestata, eque lapide supra rei dignitatem poscat impensa; si vero amplum modum saepire quis velit, patrimonio esse opus.
