    • c. 77 CE – 79 CE, Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia 17.10:
      [69] Namque ad id praecipuum eligi solum refert, quoniam nutricem indulgentiorem esse quam matrem saepe convenit. sit ergo siccum sucosumque, bipalio subactum, advenis hospitale et quam simillimum terrae ei, in quam transferendae sint, ante omnia elapidatum munitumque ab incursu etiam gallinacei generis, quam minime rimosum, ne penetrans sol exurat fibras. [70] intervallo sesquipedum seri — nam si inter se contingant, praeter alia vitia etiam verminosa fiunt —, sariri convenit saepius herbasque evelli, praeterea semina ipsa fruticantia supputare ac falcem pati consuescere. [71] Cato et furcis crates inponi iubet altitudine hominis ad solem recipiendum atque integi culmo ad frigora arcenda. sic pirorum malorumque semina nutriri, sic pineas nuces, sic cupressos semine satas et ipsas. [72] minimis id granis constat, vix ut perspici quaedam possint, non omittendo naturae miraculo e tam parvo gigni arbores, tanto maiore tritici et hordei grano, ne quis fabam reputet. quid simile origini suae habent malorum pirorumque semina? his principiis respuentem securis materiem nasci, indomita ponderibus inmensis prela, arbores velis, turribus murisque inpellendis arietes! haec est naturae vis, haec potentia. super omnia erit e lacrima nasci aliquid, ut suo loco dicemus. [73] Ergo e cupresso femina — mas enim, ut diximus, non gignit — pilulae collectae quibus docui mensibus siccantur sole, ruptaeque emittunt semen formicis mire expetitum, ampliato etiam miraculo tantuli animalis cibo absumi natalem tantarum arborum. seritur Aprili mense, area aequata cylindris aut volviculis, densum, terraque cribris superincernitur pollicis crassitudine. [74] contra maius pondus attollere se non valet torqueturque sub terra. ob hoc et pavitur vestigiis. leniter rigatur a solis occasu in trinis diebus, ut aequaliter bibat, donec erumpant. differuntur post annum dodrantali filo, custodita temperie, ut viridi caelo serantur ac sine aura. mirumque dictu, periculum eo tantum die est, si roravit quantulumcumque imbris, aut si adflavit. de reliquo tutae sunt perpetua securitate aquasque postea odere. [75] et zizipha grano seruntur Aprili mense. tubures melius inseruntur in pruno silvestri et malo cotoneo et in calabrice. ea est spina silvestris; quaecumque optime et myxas recipit; utiliter et sorbos. Plantas ex seminario transferre in aliud, priusquam suo loco ponantur, operose praecipi arbitror, licet translatione folia latiora fieri spondeant.
