Et dixit rex Sibæ: Quid sibi volunt hæc? Responditque Siba: Asini, domesticis regis ut sedeant: panes et palathæ ad vescendum pueris tuis: vinum autem ut bibat siquis defecerit in deserto.
And the king said to Siba: What mean these things? And Siba answered: The asses are for the king's household to sit on: and the loaves and the figs for thy servants to eat, and the wine to drink if any man be faint in the desert.
Et rege de Sibase dic: quid ad se vol hoc? Et responde Siba: de asino, domestica de rege ut panes: et palathas sede ad vesce ad pueros tuo: vino autem ut bibe sique defice in deserto.
