Of the\r\nnations, the Celts and Scythians wear their hair long, but do not deck\r\nthemselves. The bushy hair of the barbarian has something fearful\r\nin it; and its auburn (ξανθόν) colour threatens war, the hue being\r\nsomewhat akin to blood. Both these barbarian races hate luxury. As\r\nclear witnesses will be produced by the German, the Rhine;<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_655\" id=\"FNanchor_655\">[655]</a> and\r\nby the Scythian, the waggon. Sometimes the Scythian despises even the\r\nwaggon: its size seems sumptuousness to the barbarian; and leaving\r\nits luxurious ease, the Scythian man leads a frugal life. For a house\r\nsufficient, and less encumbered than the waggon, he takes his horse,\r\nand mounting it, is borne where he wishes. And when faint with hunger,\r\nhe asks his horse for sustenance; and he offers his veins, and supplies\r\nhis master with all he possesses—his blood. To the nomad the horse\r\nis at once conveyance and sustenance; and the warlike youth of the\r\nArabians (these are other nomads) are mounted on camels. They sit on\r\nbreeding camels; and these feed and run at the same time, carrying\r\ntheir masters the whilst, and bear the house with them. And if drink\r\nfail the barbarians, they milk them; and after that their food is\r\nspent, they do not spare even their blood, as is reported of furious\r\nwolves. And these, gentler than the barbarians, when injured, bear no\r\nremembrance of the wrong, but sweep bravely over the desert, carrying\r\nand nourishing their masters at the same time.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK III.","CHAPTER III.
