InscriptionsFloridenfes convehendis in publicum horreum fructibus, diligentes. XXII. (u,c print) SVNT in earegione plurimæ insulæ, varÿgeneris fructus abunde producentes, quos bis in anno legunt, & cymbis impositos domum vehunt; deinde in laxum sed humile horreum recondunt è lapidibus & terra extructum; cui tectum è densis palmarum ramis & molli terra ad eam rem apta constans, imponitur. Tale horreum plerumque sub aliquo monte aut rupe flumini vicina extruitur, quò solis radÿ non penetrant, ut fructus à corruptione facicilius conserventur. In illud etiam inferunt alios fructus quos adservare cupiunt, & reliquam annonam, quam inde petunt cùm opus habent, nullo ab alÿs se fraudandos iri metu solliciti. Optandum sane esset, ut inter Christianos a varitia non magis regnaret, & hominum animos torqueret. (l,c print) 22 (l,c plate)
