Nam, ubi iam induruit, melius bimus quam anniculus castratur. Idque facere vere vel autumno luna decrescente praecipit, vitulumque ad machinam deligare: deinde prius quam ferrum admoveas, duabus angustis ligneis regulis veluti forcipibus apprchendere testium nervos, quos Graeci κρεμαστῆρασ ab eo appellant, quod ex illis genitales partes dependunt. Comprehensos deinde testes ferro reserare, et expressos ita recidere, ut extrema pars eorum adhaerens praedictis nervis relinquatur.
