About the robbers in the desert, see above [723-32], as well as about their cruelty, which I am not even permitted to describe; nor were they permitted to show it to me. In addition, it can be said that they are not in the habitable land, but are in the desert, because they go alone and do not put up with a companion, because it is their nature to want to torment, slaughter, burn up, and boil anyone they meet, this being their great enjoyment. * 745-48 appear after 754, as indicated in the autograph.
