Sed privati ac separati agri apud eos nihil est , neque longius anno remanere uno in loco colendi causa licet . Neque multum frumento , sed maximam partem lacte atque pecore vivunt multum sunt in venationibus ; quae res et cibi genere et cotidiana exercitatione et libertate vitae , quod a pueris nullo officio aut disciplina adsuefacti nihil omnino contra voluntatem faciunt , et vires alit et immani corporum magnitudine homines efficit . Atque in eam se consuetudinem adduxerunt ut locis frigidissimis neque vestitus praeter pelles habeant quicquam , quarum propter exiguitatem magna est corporis pars aperta , et laventur in fluminibus .
But
among
them
there
exists
no
private
and
separate
land
;
nor
are
they
permitted
to
remain
more
than
one
year
in
one
place
for
the
purpose
of
residence
.
They
do
not
live
much
on
corn
,
but
subsist
for
the
most
part
on
milk
and
flesh
,
and
are
much
[
engaged
]
in
hunting
;
which
circumstance
must
,
by
the
nature
of
their
food
,
and
by
their
daily
exercise
and
the
freedom
of
their
life
(
for
having
from
boyhood
been
accustomed
to
no
employment
,
or
discipline
,
they
do
nothing
at
all
contrary
to
their
inclination
)
,
both
promote
their
strength
and
render
them
men
of
vast
stature
of
body
.
And
to
such
a
habit
have
they
brought
themselves
,
that
even
in
the
coldest
parts
they
wear
no
clothing
whatever
except
skins
,
by
reason
of
the
scantiness
of
which
,
a
great
portion
of
their
body
is
bare
,
and
besides
they
bathe
in
open
rivers
.
