Book XIV, 119

Ino and Semele once divided apples among twelve girl friends who begged for them. Semele gave them each an even number and her sister an odd number, but the latter had more apples. Ino gave to three of her friends three-sevenths, and to two of them one-fifth of the whole number. Astynome took eleven away from her and left her only two apples to take to the sisters. Semele gave two quarters of the apples to four girls, and to the fifth one sixth part, to Eurychore she made a gift of four; she remained herself rejoicing in the possession of the four other apples.
