From History (Rerum Gestarum Libri XXXI [c. 391 AD]), Book 31, Chapter 9, by Ammianus Marcellinus, translated by J. C. Rolfe, Volume 3, Loeb Classical Library (Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 1939).
We have learned that these Taifali were a shameful folk, so sunken in a life of shame and obscenity, that in their country the boys are coupled with the men in a union of unmentionable lust, to consume the flower of their youth in the polluted intercourse of those paramours. We may add that, if any grown person alone catches a boar or kills a huge bear, he is purified thereby from the shame of unchastity.
