Paradoxographus Palatinus
47 “Some of the Skythians are called man-eaters because they drink from human skulls. They also make hand-towels by working the skin of the heads of their enemies. Then they flay the rest of the body with claws and put them on their horses.”
Σκυθῶν οἱ ἀνδροφάγοι λεγόμενοι ἐκ μὲν κρανίων πίνουσιν ἀνθρωπίνων, τὸ δὲ δέρμα τῆς κεφαλῆς τῶν πο-λεμίων ἐργαζόμενοι ποιοῦσι χειρόμακτρον, τὸ δὲ λοιπὸν σῶμα ἐκδείραντες σὺν τοῖς ὄνυξιν ἐπιβάλλουσιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἵππους.
