Campania is particularly prolific in millet, and a fine white porridge is made from it: it makes a bread, too, of remarkable sweetness. The nations of Sarmatia [Note] live principally on this porridge, and even the raw meal, with the sole addition of mares' milk, or else blood [Note] extracted from the thigh of the horse. The Æthiopians know of no other grain but millet and barley.
