'Susa abounds so exceedingly in grain that both barley and wheat regularly produce one hundred-fold and some times two hundred; Farmers do not cut the furrows close together, for the crowding of the roots hinders the plant development. The vine did not grow both there and at Babylon before the Macedonians planted it, not by digging trenches , but by thrusting iron stakes and, after pulling them, planting immediately the vines.' From Strabo's Geography. Book 15:3 (11).
