Ok. Then I couldn't put it in the Florilegium without the original author/
editor's permission.

Only generally. I know you are still working on your current translation
work. However, until a translation is available, I personally can't make
much use of it.

Unfortunately, unless a non-copyrighted version or permission is
obtained from the current copyright holder can be obtained, the
translation, if it is a direct translation can not be used either.

Ooh. Lots of interesting stuff I've not seen addressed elsewhere.

What does it say about feeding the chickens. I don't think the
argument between me and Ras over feeding grain to chickens has
been resolved yet. I'm willing to admit some feed was used, but
I still think it was minimal. Maybe this could resolve this.

Does it say whether pigs were fat or not?
