"scutarii," carvers in wood, statuaries, or turners, "tornatores," curriers, "coriarii."

The thrashing-floor is a cruciform space in the centre of the building, in the angles whereof are bins for the grain, "repositoria earundem rerum."

In one of these is the place for drying grain or fruit, (probably a malt-house,) " locus ad "torrendas annonas" In a second are two large mortars, "pilæ;" and in a third the hand-mills, "molæ." In each of these three buildings there is an inner room, which serves as a dormitory for the workmen.

This is a barn of large extent, with entrances (probably
