They mentioned among thieves, forgers of seals, the light-fingered, and palmers, him who gives short weight, him who robs in the ranks, him who throttles by the sudden attack, him who hides in the locker till lifting is possible, him who substitutes by cajoling, him who steals in jest, him who steals by the confidence trick, him who induces sleep, him who confounds with backgammon, him who deceives with the monkey, him who gets the better by means of the mantle and a needle and thread, him who makes a subterranean passage, him who renders men unconscious with hemp, or cheats by juggling, him who changes his shoes, him who overpowers with the sword, him who ascends from the well, him who plays with the strap and says  ‘Sit down, there is no harm!’ him who steals by playing upon people’s modesty, him who takes advantage of a panic, him who gets a meal in the street by blowing his trumpet, those who rob through the windows, him who scales lofty houses, him who creeps stealthily with the knife along the mud wall, him who comes to thee suddenly with a sweet-smelling nosegay, him who comes by stealth and moans after the manner of madmen, the possessors of keys, the men of cotton and wind, him who enters the door in the guise of a guest, him who passes in humbly in the garb of the destitute; and the conversation turned on to him who got the better of them.
