  This was food sufficient for more than two hundred men.  Bp.
  Pococke says that the bey of Tunis had daily twelve sheep,
  with fish and fowls, soups, oranges, eggs, onions, boiled

  poor took what was left.  Here the bey's twelve sheep are
  equal to Nehemiah's one ox and six choice sheep; and probably
  the mode of living between the two was nearly alike.  It is
  still the practice in the East to calculate the expenses of
  the table, not by the money paid, but by the provisions
