Description

An account of barley given out for the feeding of pigs, donkeys, horses, dogs and pigeons, the measure employed being the an�l�tikon, in which the artab contained forty choinikes. Two of the pigs were Sicilian; this was a famous breed in antiquity, and no doubt the presence of these imported specimens at Philadelphia was due to Apollonios. Column 5 shows us that the dogs in Zenon's charge were well cared for.
