Herodotus ch. 200 about Babylonians
Ἑλληνική Transliterate
English
νόμοι μὲν δὴ τοῖσι Βαβυλωνίοισι οὗτοι κατεστᾶσι : εἰσὶ δὲ αὐτῶν πατριαὶ τρεῖς αἳ οὐδὲν ἄλλο σιτέονται εἰ μὴ ἰχθὺς μοῦνον , τοὺς ἐπείτε ἂν θηρεύσαντες αὐήνωσι πρὸς ἥλιον , ποιεῦσι τάδε : ἐσβάλλουσι ἐς ὅλμον καὶ λεήναντες ὑπέροισι σῶσι διὰ σινδόνος , καὶ ὃς μὲν ἂν βούληται αὐτῶν ἅτε μᾶζαν μαξάμενος ἔχει , ὁ δὲ ἄρτου τρόπον ὀπτήσας .
These
are
established
customs
among
the
Babylonians
.
Furthermore
,
there
are
three
tribes
in
the
country
that
eat
nothing
but
fish
,
which
they
catch
and
dry
in
the
sun
;
then
,
after
throwing
it
into
a
mortar
,
they
pound
it
with
pestles
and
strain
everything
through
linen
.
Then
whoever
desires
kneads
as
it
were
a
cake
of
it
and
eats
it
;
others
bake
it
like
bread
.
