Hoc autem quibus rationibus caveatur, sic erit faciendum. lucerna accensa demittatur; quae si permanserit ardens, sine periculo descendetur. sin autem eripietur lumen a vi vaporis, tunc secundum puteum dextra ac sinistra defodiantur aestuaria; ita quemadmodum per nares spiritus ex aestuariis dissipabuntur. cum haec sic explicata fuerint et ad aquam erit perventum, tunc saepiatur assa structura, ne obturentur venae.
