- […] Plantis etiam stercus das. Da etiam urinam, sodes: per quam earum febrem iudices. Stercus in illis ais esse modicum, & siccum. Iccirco bene olere. Etiamne Ballotae, aut Marrubium? Etiamne Spathula, quae a foetore cognomen adepta est? Etiamne illa, cui teterrimum obodorem, teterrima voce (auribus sit honor) à muliebribus pudendis, & eorum opere, duo nomina indiderunt? Ut omittam Cotulam, & alias multas. At, opinor, Arundines Moscho excellentius olent: quia parum in eis stercoris est, atque id siccum. Cantharides quia siccae non sunt, malè olent.
