The cantons of the Calascirians are different - they include the
following: The cantons of Thebes, Bubastis, Aphthis, Tanis,
Mendes, Sebennytus, Athribis, Pharbaethus, Thmuis, Onuphis,
Anysis, and Myecphoris - this last canton consists of an island
which lies over against the town of Bubastis. The Calascirians,
when at their greatest number, have amounted to two hundred and fifty
thousand. Like the Hermotybians, they are forbidden to pursue any
trade, and devote themselves entirely to warlike exercises, the son
following the father's calling.
