He keeps some of his bees during the winter at Camasco not very far from Varallo, others in other places near and moves them up to Alagna, at the head of the Val Sesia, towards the end of May that they may make their honey from the spring flowers and excellent honey they make.

A fourth rends the veil of the temple, solely to seize its money.
