on this scrap of paper were written three pieces of advice first, if a person is travelling and reaches any strange place at night, let him be careful where he puts up, and not close his eyes in sleep, lest he close them in death. secondly, if a man has a married sister, and visits her in great pomp, she will receive him for the sake of what she can obtain from him; but if he comes to her in poverty, she will frown on him and disown him. thirdly, if a man has to do any work, he must do it himself, and do it with might and without fear.
