They had, in general, many wives.
This was their manner of taking an oath ; and this was their form of divination. They laid their hand on the tombs of thofe of their anceftors who had been moft renowned for their probity, and fwore by their manes. With regard to their divinations, they went to the fepulchres of their fathers, where they firft prayed, and then flept; and whatever they dreamed in that fleep, they deemed it a fure prediction. To ratify an engagement, they prefented a cup to each ...other, and drank together. But if they had no drink, they took duft from the ground and licked it.
Herodot. 1. Iv. C. 172.
