I once heard him discuss the subject of estate management in the following manner.
Tell me, Critobulus, is estate management the name of a branch of knowledge, like medicine, smithing and carpentry?
I think so,
replied Critobulus.

And can we say what the function of estate management is, just as we can say what is the function of each of these arts?
Well, I suppose that the business of a good estate manager is to manage his own estate well.
