Εἶναι δέ φασι καὶ τόπον τινὰ παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς οὐ λίαν μικρόν, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἂν εἴκοσί που σταδίων, ὃς φέρει κριθὰς αἷς οἱ μὲν ἄνθρωποι χρῶνται, οἱ δ᾽ ἵπποι καὶ βόες οὐκ ἐθέλουσιν αὐτὰς ἐσθίειν, οὐδ᾽ ἄλλο οὐδέν. Ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ τῶν ὑῶν οὐδὲ τῶν κυνῶν οὐδεμία τολμᾷ γεύσασθαι τῆς κόπρου τῶν ἀνθρώπων, οἵτινες ἂν ἐκ τῶν κριθῶν τούτων μᾶζαν φαγόντες ἢ ἄρτον ἀφοδεύωσι, τῷ θνήσκειν.
