17et quasi in modum retis,And there was something like a network of chains,et catenarum sibi invicem miro opere contextarum.woven together in a wonderful manner.Utrumque capitellum columnarum fusile erat:Both heads of the columns were cast,septena versuum retiacula in capitello uno,and seven rows of little nets traversed one head,et septena retiacula in capitello altero.and seven little nets were on the other head.
18Et perfecit columnas,And he finished the columns with two rows all around each network,et duos ordines per circuitum retiaculorum singulorum,so that these covered the heads,ut tegerent capitella quæ erant super summitatem,which were at the top,malogranatorum:with pomegranates.eodem modo fecit et capitello secundo.And he did in like manner to the second head.
