The diocese of Hippo had to deal with many houses and immense fundi, upon which lived an entire population of artisans and freed-men, agricultural labourers, and even art-workers smelters, embroiderers, chisellers on metals.

None of them therefore will venture to undertake the job." "What's to be done?" She Yueeh inquired. "But it won't matter if you don't wear it to-morrow."
Twenty-four persons, mostly ecclesiastics, were chosen for this purpose: a bell-ringer, a psalmist, a cook, a brewer, a chamberlain, three smiths, three artificers, and three embroiderers are reckoned of the number.
