[1202] “Chium.” This reading is doubtful. Fée says that between Narni and Terni, eight leagues from Spoleto, a small grape is found, without stones. It is called “uva passa,” or “passerina.” So, too, the Sultana raisin of commerce.
[1203] “Grown for the table.”
[1204] Or “hard-berry.”
[1205] Mentioned by Virgil, Georg. ii. 101.
[1206] Or pitch-grape.
[1207] Perhaps the “noirant,” or “teinturier” of the French.
[1208] Or “garland-clustered” vine.
[1209] Fée says that this is sometimes accidentally the case, but is not the characteristic of any variety now known.
[1210] Or “market-grapes.”
[1211] The “ash-coloured.”
