Arcades hi, gens una viris, sed dissona cultu scinditur: hi Paphias myrtos a stirpe recurvant et pastorali meditantur proelia trunco, his arcus, his tela sudes, hic casside crines integit, Arcadii morem tenet ille galeri, ille Lycaoniae rictu caput asperat ursae.
Arcadians are these, one race of men but divided in their habit. Some bend Paphian myrtles back from the root and practise battles with shepherds staves, some are armed with bows, some with stakes. One covers his hair with a helmet, another holds to the old-style Arcadian hat, yet another makes his head rugged with the gaping jaws of a Lycaonian bear.
