[edit] Questions
Does the accused have to swallow this whole? How difficult would it be to have to do this? Has anyone tried performing this act in modern times? howcheng {chat} 20:54, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think a lot of the modern sources have interpreted this differently. I tried to keep their speculation out of the article. A couple sources say that barley was used because it's more difficult to swallow. Multiple other sources say that it was actually really easy to do, and that nobody has died by it, and that the clergy reserved this practice for themselves, so that they wouldn't be in any real danger, and could get out of any crime. I think they had to swallow it whole, although some sources say they chewed it up. Most of this seems to be speculation. One ounce of anything is not much to swallow, especially with some practice. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-05-10 21:22Z
