( 1271-72; MS: s.xiii4/4 )  Coment om deit ferir poynanment. En cest duzime chapitre aprent li auctors les jovenes chivalers de ferir poignanment e non pas trenchanment  (ed. trenchaument). Estre ce il aperneient de ferir poinanment e nun pas trenchanment  (ed. trenchaument). [...] ki fiert trenchanment, de quele manere k'il viengne, ne oscist pas sovent, cum les entrailes seient bien defenduz e des armes e des os. Mes encontre ce la pointe de deus unces de parfundece est mortele, kar il covient ke il perce les entrailes quant si est parfond  vegetius2 15.12-13
