Constantinus Porphyrogen. De administr. Imperio c. 23 (in Banduri Imper. orientali p. 77 f):
Λέγονται οἱ Ἴβηρες ὑδροποτεῖν, ὡς Ἀθήναιος ἐν δειπνοσοφιστῶν δευτέρῳ οὕτω· Φύλαρχος μὲν ἐν τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ τοὺ Ἴβηράς φησιν ὑδροποτεῖν πάντας, καίτοι πλουσιωτάτους πάντων ἀνθρώπων τυγχάνοντας· κέκτηνται γὰρ ἄργυρον καὶ χρυσὸν πλεῖστον. Μονοσιτεῖν τε αὐτοὺς ἀεὶ λέγει διὰ μικρολογίαν, ἐσθῆτάς τε φορεῖν πολυτελεστάτας.
Dicuntur Iberi aquam potare, ut Athenaeus tradit libro secundo Dipnosophistarum his verbis: Phylarchus libro septimo etiam Iberos ait omnes nonnisi aquam potare, licet omnium mortalium ditissimi sint, quippe qui plurimum argenti aurique possideant: eosdemque constanter nonnisi semel quotidie cibum capere ait ob parsimoniam, vestes autem gestare pretiosissimas.
Eadem ex Athenaeo affert Steph, Byz. v. Ἰβηρίαι.
