Note 2 — BOOK VI.
Herbert Hoover translation
[Pg 150][2] While these particular tools serve the same purpose as the "gad" and the "moil," the latter are not fitted with handles, and we have, therefore, not felt justified in adopting these terms, but have given a literal rendering of the Latin.
[Pg 151] The Latin and old German terms for these tools were:—
FirstIron tool=Ferramentumprimum=Bergeisen.
Second"="secundum=Rutzeisen.
Third"="tertium=Sumpffeisen.
Fourth"="quartum=Fimmel.
Wedge=Cuneus=Keil.
Iron block=Lamina=Plôtz.
Iron plate=Bractea=Feder.
The German words obviously had local value and do not bear translation literally.
