Sed in summittendo custode haec maxime sunt observanda. Primum ne resupinacaelum sed prona potius plaga terram spectet;sic enim et gelicidiis ipsa se protegit, et ab sole obumbratur. Deinde ne sagittae sed ungulae similis fiat resectio; nam illa celerius et latius emoritur, haec tardius et angustius reformidat. Quodque etiam usurpari vitiosissime animadverto, maxime vitandum est; nam dum serviunt decori, quo sit brevior custos et similis pollici, iuxta articulum sarmentum reddunt.
