Ab hac medietate restium ligneus stilus exsurgens obliquius, et in modum iugalis temonis erectus, ita nervorum nodulis implicatur, ut altius tolli possit et inclinari, summitatique eius unci ferrei copulantur, e quibus pendet stuppea vel ferrea funda, cui ligno fulmentum prosternitur ingens, cilicium paleis confertum minutis, validis nexibus illigatum, et locatum super congestos caespites vel latericios aggeres. Nam muro saxeo huius modi moles imposita disiectat quidquid invenerit subter concussione violenta, non pondere.
