<CROPS TO BE TITHED>

Spelt, or barley, which like spelt is reaped with its grain, should
be brought from the villas in which it grew on the determination
of the domain;[150] similarly, flax, wool, turnips,[151] and all legumes,
which are to be tithed together in a group before being separated
into the various kinds, must also be delivered. Nothing at any
place should remain untithed.

With respect to garden produce, what is customarily grown
in the various locations, such as leeks, shallots, algi,[152] or other
similar varieties which can reasonably be sold, should be sold
for either money or grain, and the payments brought to the
porter.

With respect to fruit, the same method should be followed
wherever and whenever it is reasonable to do so. Moreover, if
there are any other crops, however small, a tithe should be paid
on them in the same way.
