[Sca-cooks] watermelons and Pliny continued

Again, you've cited these references yourself. Is it unreasonable to ask  
you to provide the corresponding texts? If one had to write every author to  
track down their references, research would become a pretty intractable  
enterprise.
 
And again, I tried to find the Pliny reference and don't even see those  
chapters. So if you're going to cite them as references, please, find them. 
 
This really shouldn't vary by edition. Pliny's Natural History is divided  
into books which are then divided into chapters. The standard references  
are to the book and the chapter or chapters. So this isn't a problem of 
finding  the right page number.

When I  locate them, I'll check the editions and actual citations in his  
bibliographies. Then once that is confirmed we can write to Dalby and ask  
about the references. Or perhaps you'd like to go ahead and ask him directly  
yourself
