36 in the steaming-box begins to boil, | the woman takes the flat- 
bottomed basket, takes the | washed roots out of the dish, and puts 
them into the flat-bottomed basket. | As soon as all the roots are in 
the flat-bottomed basket, she | puts the basket with the roots into 
40 the boiling || water. After she has done so, she again takes up her 
tongs, | picks up red-hot stones, dips them into the | water in the 
bucket, and puts them in all around the sides of the | basket con- 
taining the roots. She does not put in really many | red-hot stones. 
45 Then the water begins to boil; || and it does not boil a very long time, 
before the | roots are boiled to pieces. Then the woman takes hold 
on each side of the | basket with roots, and she puts the basket into a 
large | dish. She pours out the water that was in the dish, and | lets 
the liquid drain off. For this purpose she puts (the roots) into the 
50 large dish. || Then she takes a small dish, puts it down, and also oil | 
and spoons; and when everything is ready, she takes up with one 
hand | the basket containing the roots and lifts it out of the large | 
dish. Then she pours the boiled roots into a | small dish, from which 
they are to be eaten. When the dish is full, she stops pouring them 
55 in. She || takes oil, and pours on much oil, and she only | stops 
pouring on oil when (what is in the dish) is a thick paste. Then she 
stirs it with a | spoon, and gives the spoons to those who are to eat |
