^ Plinius Secundus, iv. 16, Carduus. 'Matrici utilissimus cibus est. Nec miiare quod sic a 

 feminis carduus ambitur. Est et alia causa qua patrocinari eis possit : nam Glaucias scribit, 

 cardui cibum adjuvare ut masculos procreent.' ^ E. P. N. p. 52, ^Hic cardo, cardoun.' 



ib. p. 59, ' Hic cardo, -onis, inedia correpta, thystylle.' Possibly the reference may be to what
