Quotation Natio genus hominum, qui non aliunde venerunt, sed ibi nati sunt. In pecoribus quoque bonus proventus feturae bona natio dicitur.
Translation Natio is a genus (a stock) of human beings, who didn’t come from anywhere else, but were born there (that’s perhaps to say: in the territory where they’ve been living). Furthermore a good growth of a offspring is called by the animals a good natio (C. Grifoni)
