When they become sick, they make vows to be buried by birds. They are led outside the city with song dances, and there the birds devour them. The bones that are left are burned placed in a jar which is thrown into the sea. If the birds do not eat them, they are put into a basket. As for those buried by fire, they are thrown into the fire. The ashes are collected in a vase which is buried and to which sacrifices of unlimited duration are made.
