Further aspects of sorcery and cult clearly involved sexual performance... As part of a communal feast, a long series of rituals are performed in which a preserved horse's penis is passed from hand to hand and spontaneous verses are spoken. The sexual content is explicit, as is the action, for it is made clear that the female servants of the house are expected to employ the object to masturbate:
[Verse spoken by the eldest son]
For you, serving maid,
this phallus will be
lively enough
between the thighs.
[reply by an enslaved woman as she takes the object]
I certainly could not
refrain from
thrusting him inside of me
if we were lying alone
in mutual pleasure.
