<i>Some sorcerers are said to eat the flesh of the dead. (L VIII.-15. 7304-7306). </i>|han≠kass'o is told by various <i>!giten </i>(sorcerers) whom he knows that some (bad)<i> !giten</i> eat people. They eat locusts (collected by other <i>!giten</i> for them) and flies, and force other <i>!giten</i> to eat the flesh of dead human beings.
