6 He ordered boys to be brought, not into the forum, but into the fields, that they might spend their early years, not in effeminate employments, but in hard labour and exertion; 7 not suffering them to put anything under them to sleep upon, or to live on high seasoned food, and
them to return into the city till they arrived at manhood.
Justinus - Epitome of Historae Philippicae
