Your knowledge is no better than your cars

[pe_marti]

Hello again,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with the meaning of "cars" in this line:


MOSCA [aside] Rook go with you, raven.
CORBACCIO I know thee honest.
MOSCA You do lie, sir-
CORBACCIO And-
MOSCA Your knowledge is no better than your cars, sir.
CORBACCIO I do not doubt to be a father to thee.
MOSCA Nor I to gull my brother of his blessing.
(...)

Thanks...

According to the text of the play on this site, the line should be "Your knowledge is no better then your eares, Sir." (Eares = ears.) In the context, this would make much more sense.
