From Chapter 63 of the Decline & Fall

Saserna, in Gaul, and Columella, in Italy or Spain, allow two yoke of oxen, two drivers, and six laborers, for two hundred jugera (125 English acres) of arable land, and three more men must be added if there be much underwood (Columella de Re Rustica, l. ii. c. 13, p 441, edit. Gesner).
