He that dug a pit or a ditch was required to dig it as far from his neighbor's land as it was deep. Bees were required to be kept three hundred feet from those of a neighbor. Plutarch says, "The most peculiar and surprising of the laws is that which declares the man in- famous who stands neuter in time of sedition. It seems he would not have us be indifferent and unaffected with the fate of the public, when our own concerns are upon a safe bot- tom, nor when we are in health be insensible to th...e distempers and griefs of our country. He would have us espouse the better and juster cause and hazard everything in defense of it, rather than wait in safety to see which side the victory will incline to."^ In all marriages except those of heiresses he prohibited the giving of dowries and allowed the bride to bring with her only three suits of clothes and a little house- hold stuff. This included an earthen pan for parching barley, which symbolized her assumption of the charge of the house- hold.
