Titus 1:12
Douay-Rheims
One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
Tertullian
Comic poets deride the Phrygians for their cowardice; Sallust reproaches the Moors for their levity, and the Dalmatians for their cruelty; even the apostle brands the Cretans as "liars." Very likely, too, something must be set down to the score of bodily condition and the state of the health.
