One of these, which was the driest and largest, and had a door out beyond my wall or fortification—that is to say, beyond where my wall joined to the rock—was all filled up with the large earthen pots of which I have given an account, and with fourteen or fifteen great baskets, which would hold five or six bushels each, where I laid up my stores of provisions, especially my corn, some in the ear, cut off short from the straw, and the other rubbed out with my hand.
Allí tenía dos grandes cacharros de barro, que ya he descrito con lujo de detalles, y catorce o quince cestos de gran tamaño, con capacidad para almacenar cinco o seis fanegas de grano cada uno. En ellos guardaba mis provisiones, en especial el grano, que desgranaba con mis manos o que conservaba en las espigas, cortadas al ras del tallo.
