[7]
συλλέγουσι δὲ ἄρα τὰ ᾠὰ καὶ ἐσπουδάκασι περὶ
αὐτὰ οἱ περίοικοι, οὐχ ὡς φαγεῖν μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ σκεύεσι
χρῶνται κενώσαντες καὶ ἐκπώματα ποιοῦνται ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν:
οὐ γὰρ ἔχουσι κεραμεύειν διὰ τὸ ψάμμον εἶναι τὴν γῆν.
εἰ δὲ καὶ μεγάλα εὑρεθείη, καὶ πῖλοι γίγνονται δύο ἐκ
τοῦ ᾠοῦ ἑκάστου: τὸ γὰρ ἡμίτομον ἑκάτερον ἀποχρῶν τῇ
κεφαλῇ πῖλός ἐστιν.
