Latin Texts & Translations

The caraway ^[Note] is an exotic plant also, which derives its name, "careum," from the country ^[Note] in which it was first grown; it is principally employed for culinary purposes. This plant will grow in any kind of soil, and requires to be cultivated just the same way as olusatrum; the most esteemed, however, is that which comes from Caria, and the next best is that of Phrygia.
