Neither horses nor asses were spared, nor did they refrain from filthy garbage.

At last they did not even spare dogs: to dying men every abomination was lawful; for there is nothing too hard for the bidding of extreme need.

At last when they were worn out with hunger, there came a general mortality.

Bodies were carried out for burial without end, for all feared to perish, and none pitied the perishing.

Fear indeed had cast out humanity.
