they would pick them up and bury them in a place that was two stadia away. On the second day, the merchants built tents with reeds and other improvised materials and on the third day slaves and animals dressed in gold and silver were sold. After noon the sacrifices were celebrated, in which the richest would sacrifice oxen and deer, while poorer people would geese and guinea fowl. Pigs, sheep and goats could not be slaughtered. The victims were wrapped in cloth and arranged in the Egyptian way. Then there was a procession with the victims and finally the stores were burned.
