Translation
"From her one may learn whether it is better to be rich or to go hungry. For she says that those who have and who are wealthy send her a dinner each month, but that the poor among mankind snatch it before they put it down."1 For it was customary for the rich to offer loaves and other things to Hekate each month, and for the poor to take from them.2
