1 Corinthians 10:25 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles— Herodotus informs us, that the Egyptians, when they had cut off the head of the victim, used to carry the carcase to market, and sell it to the Greeks, if they could find any to purchase; if not, they threw it into the river, judging it unlawful to eat it themselves. Though the Grecian priests had no such scruples, yet, as they had often more flesh of the sacrifices than they and their families could consume, it was natural for them to take this method of disposing of it to advantage; and at times of extraordinary sacrifice, it is probable the neighbouring markets might be chiefly supplied from their temples.
