18. నా కోసం ప్రతి రోజూ ఒక ఎద్దు, ఆరు శ్రేష్ఠమైన గొర్రెలు భోజనం కోసం సిద్ధం చేసేవారు. ఇవి కాకుండా పిట్టలు, పది రోజులకొకసారి రకరకాల ద్రాక్షారసాలు సమృద్ధిగా సిద్ధపరిచే వారు. అయినప్పటికీ ఈ ప్రజలు ఎంతో కఠినమైన బానిసత్వం కింద ఉన్నందువల్ల అధికారిగా నాకు రావలసిన రాబడి నేను ఆశించలేదు.

18. నాతోబాటు నా భోజనశాలలో భోజనం చేసిన వాళ్లకి ప్రతిరోజూ ఈ కింది ఆహార పదార్థాలు పెట్టాను: ఒక ఆవు, ఆరు మేలైన గొర్రెలు రకరకాల పక్షులు. ప్రతి పది రోజులకీ ఒకసారి రకరకాల ద్రాక్షారసం నా భోజనపు బల్ల వద్దకి తెప్పించబడేవి. అయితేనేమి, నేను మాత్రం పాలనాధికారికి అనుమతింపబడిన ఆహారాన్ని కానేకావాలని అడగలేదు. నా భోజనం కోసం నేనెన్నడూ జనం దగ్గర బలవంతాన పన్నులు వసూలు చేయలేదు. జనం చేస్తున్నపని బాగా కష్టమైనదని నాకు తెలుసు,
