At length I resolved to try a pitfall; so I dug several large pits in the earth, in places where I had observed the goats used to feed, and over those pits I placed hurdles of my own making too, with a great weight upon them; and several times I put ears of barley and dry rice without setting the trap; and I could easily perceive that the goats had gone in and eaten up the corn, for I could see the marks of their feet.
Több nagy vermet ástam a földbe azoknak a helyeknek a közelében, ahová a kecskék táplálkozni jártak. A vermeket eleinte felülről lefedtem és csalétekként gabonát szórtam szét, hogy odaszoktassam az állatokat.
