labours of agriculture: they abused the privilege of a
victorious nation; and the Goths, their industrious
subjects, who cultivated the earth dreaded their
neighbourhood, like that of so many ravenous wolves

Sarts and Tadgics provide for their own subsistence, and for
that of the Usbec Tartars, their lazy and rapacious
sovereigns. See Genealogical History of the Tartars, p. 423,
455, etc.
