Cum subrisisset Scrofa, quod non ignorabat libros et despiciebat, et Agrasius se scire modo putaret ac Stolonem rogasset ut diceret, coepit: Scribit cimices quem ad modum interfici oporteat his verbis: cucumerem anguinum condito in aquam eamque infundito quo voles, nulli accedent; vel fel bubulum cum aceto mixtum, unguito lectum.
This brought a smile from Scrofa, who knew the books and despised them; and Agrasius, thinking that he alone knew them, asked Stolo to give a quotation. This is his recipe for killing bugs, he said: Soak a wild cucumber in water, and wherever you sprinkle the water the bugs will not come. And again, Grease your bed with ox gall, mixed with vinegar.
