[17] βασιλεύονται δ᾽ ὑπὸ τῶν ἀπὸ γένους: ὁ δ᾽ ἀπειθῶν ἀποτμηθεὶς κεφαλὴν καὶ βραχίονα ῥίπτεται. γαμοῦσι δὲ πολλὰς καὶ ἅμα παλλακὰς τρέφουσι πλείους πολυτεκνίας χάριν. τιθέασι δὲ καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς ἆθλα πολυτεκνίας κατ᾽ ἔτος: τὰ δὲ τρεφόμενα μέχρι ἐτῶν τεττάρων οὐκ ἄγεται τοῖς γονεῦσιν εἰς ὄψιν. οἱ δὲ γάμοι κατὰ τὰς ἀρχὰς τῆς ἐαρινῆς ἰσημερίας ἐπιτελοῦνται ... παρέρχεται δ᾽ ἐπὶ τὸν θάλαμον προφαγὼν μῆλον ἢ καμήλου μυελόν, ἄλλο δ᾽ οὐδὲν τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην.
Strabo. ed. A. Meineke, Geographica. Leipzig: Teubner. 1877.
