Κτησίας ἐν Περσικῶν ιʹ “χώρη δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν πρόσκειται Δυρβαῖοι, πρὸς τὴν Βακτρίην καὶ Ἰνδικὴν κατατείνοντες. οὗτοι εὐδαίμονες ἄνδρες καὶ πλούσιοι καὶ κάρτα δίκαιοί εἰσι, οὔτε ἀδικέοντες οὔτε ἀποκτιννύοντες ἄνθρωπον οὐδένα. ἐὰν δέ τι εὕρωσι ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἢ χρυσίον ἢ ἱμάτιον ἢ ἀργύριον ἢ ἄλλο τι, οὐδὲν ἀποκινήσειαν. οὗτοι οὔτε ἀρτοποιέουσι οὔτ´ ἐσθίουσι οὔτε νομίζουσι ἐὰν μὴ ἱρῶν οὕνεκεν. ἄλφιτα δὲ ποιέουσι λεπτότερα κατάπερ οἱ Ἕλληνες, καὶ ἐσθίουσι μάζας ποῶν”.
