The women also with cords about them, sitting in the ways, burn bran for perfume: but if any of them, drawn by some that passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken.
Women wearing cords sit along the roads burning bran as incense; if a passerby takes one of them and later she is not chosen again, she taunts the other woman for not being thought worthy and for not having her cord broken.
