Anabasis
Food and supplies found in villages and needed for the army's survival.
In these villages they remained for three days, not only for the sake of the wounded, but likewise because they had provisions in abundance—flour, wine, and great stores of barley that had been collected for horses, all these supplies having been gathered together by the acting satrap of the district.
The following day the Greeks remained quiet and collected supplies, for there was an abundance of corn in the villages.
and the army under Cheirisophus descended into the plain and proceeded to encamp in a village stored with abundant supplies.

also fill me some well-sewn leathern bags with barley meal - about twenty measures in all.
Then they made all fast throughout the ship, filled the mixing-bowls to the brim, and made drink offerings to the immortal gods that are from everlasting, but more particularly to the gray-eyed daughter of Zeus.
