oliva indiae sterilis praeterquam oleastri
fructus. passim vero quae piper gignunt iunipiris nostris similes, quamquam in fronte caucasi solibus opposita gigni tantum eas aliqui tradidere. semina a iunipiro distant parvulis siliquis, quales in phasiolis videmus. hae prius quam dehiscant decerptae tostaeque sole faciunt quod vocatur piper longum, paulatim vero dehiscentes maturitate ostendunt candidum piper, quod deinde tostum solibus colore rugisque mutatur. verum et his sua iniuria est, atque caeli intemperie carbunculant fiuntque semina cassa et inania, quod vocant bregma, sic indorum lingua significante mortuum. hoc ex omni genere asperrimum est levissimumque et pallidum, gratius nigrum, lenius utroque candidum. non est huius arboris radix, ut aliqui existimavere, quod vocant zingiberi, alii vero zimpiberi, quamquam sapore simili. id enim in arabia atque trogodytica in villis nascitur, parva herba, radice candida. celeriter ea cariem sentit, quamvis in tanta amaritudine. pretium eius in libras #1108 vi. piper longum facillime adulteratur alexandrino sinapi. emitur in libras #1108 xv, album #1108 vii, nigrum #1108 iiii. usum eius adeo placuisse mirum est; in aliis quippe suavitas cepit, in
aliis species invitavit: huic nec pomi nec bacae commendatio est aliqua. sola placere amaritudine, et hanc in indos peti! quis ille primus experiri cibis voluit aut cui in appetenda aviditate esurire non fuit satis utrumque silvestre gentibus suis est et tamen pondere emitur ut aurum vel argentum.
