AD (SHA Alex. 37,9) ....The work (De hortis ?) was together with the Roman agronomists part of the Florentine Cod. Marcianus but had already been removed from this collection before the codex was completely lost in the 16th cent.... Parts are preserved in Palladius' books of the months under the headings De hortis and De pomis
