Id ibique et in omni Africa, quae procul a mari incultius agebat, eo facilius tolerabatur quia Numidae plerumque lacte et ferina carne vescebantur et neque salem neque alia inritamenta gulae quaerebant; cibus illis advorsum famem atque sitim, non lubidini neque luxuriae erat.
This scarcity of water was the more readily endured both there and in all Africa where the people live a less civilized existence far from the sea because the Numidians consumed chiefly milk and game and sought neither salt nor other stimulants of the palate; for from their perspective, food served to ward off hunger and thirst, not as a means of luxurious self-indulgence.
