v. 1. Better is a dry morsel, without even the customary wine or diluted vinegar, and quietness therewith, harmony among all those at the table, than an house full of sacrifices, a great amount of the meat and other sumptuous foods served at sacrificial meals, with strife, hatred breaking out in quarrels, this being the danger when the rich went to excesses in their banquets.
