"If the grain does not suffice for these rites and the the vessels are empty and do not pour water, the person in charge of the regular offerings does not receive extra. After what was distributed from the foods and what was distributed from the drinks, after what was left over from the regular offerings and was not used by the house, after what was expended from the taxed fish, [...] and after what was received in nuts and green plants from within the garden has entered, no mouth may touch them. No one should carry the bread of the shrines in the district as bread allotment."
