Translation
"When coming in and going out to his companions Sallustius saw that the pot-stands were always unstained and un-smoky, just as if they had been set up for sale in the market-place; he used to consider it very important to have an uncooked dinner most of the time."1
Greek original · Adler’s text
Χυτρόπους. εἰσιὼν καὶ ἐξιὼν ὁ Σαλούστιος πρὸς τοὺς ἑταίρους ἑώρα τοὺς χυτρόποδας ἀχράντους ἀεὶ καὶ ἀκάπνους, ὥσπερ ἐν ἀγορᾷ πρὸς ὠνὴν ἐγκειμένους· ἐποιεῖτο δὲ μέγιστον ἀπύρῳ διαίτῃ κεχρῆσθαι πολὺν χρόνον.
