InscriptionsConviviorum apparatus. (u,c print) XXVIII. (u,r print) CErto anni tempore, quo convivia inter se celebrare solent, delectos habēt adid munus coquos: ac primum magnum ac rotundum fictile vas (quod ipsi-met parare & adeo exactè percoquere norunt, ut in eo non minus ac in nostris lebetibus aqua bullire poBit) supra crassa ligna collo cant, ignem subÿciunt ipsorum aliquo flabellum ad ignem excitandum valde aptum, manu tenente: Præfectus coquorum quæ coquenda sunt in ollam inÿcit, alÿ aquam in fossam ad purgandum infundūt, alius aquam vase, situlæ in modum facto, adfert. alter aromata cibis in spergenda in plano aliquo lapide atterit; dum mulieres, seligendis ÿs quæ ad culinam necessaria, sunt occupatæ. Licet vero suo more manga agitent convivia, sobrÿtamen sunt in edendo, inde fit ut longo tempore vivant. Nam ex iis Regulis unus mihi affirmavit, se trecentorum annorum ætatem habre; & patrem, quem mihi ostendit, quinquaginta annis eum superare:ut verum fatear, cum illum conspicerem, ossa humana pelle dunt ax at tecta videre me putabam. Pudorem sane incutiunt Christianis, qui suis compotationibus & conviviis sine moderamine celebratis, brevitatem vite sibi accelerantes, merito deberent tradi in disciplinam his barbaris hominibus & animantibus brutis ad ediscendam sobrietatem.
