| At Market Thus were things bought, or sold: they arranged them in order so that each thing sold would be placed separately--in its own place or station. They were not spread about in confusion. Separate were those who sold chocolate, aromatic herbs, and vanilla. Apart were those who sold great capes, costly capes, embroidered capes, costly breech clouts, embroidered skirts and shifts... And also there were proprietors who were spreading out smoking tubes, pipes, and cigars, quite resinous and aromatic; and tobacco bowls; and large pottery braziers and hearths, and earthen basins, and pots, and jars for storing water, and settling jars, and flat cooking plates, and sauce vessels, and earthen cups, and everything earthenware.
