   • 1596, anonymous author, Diálogo de Alberte e Bieito‎^[1]:

     Meu sobrino pouco biche no camiño que Aca muyto mais pasou esa jente Aca chegou e nonos deixaron biño Pan nen pasta que ata estar de choz non lle basta darlles da bianda boa mesturada con boroa so pantrigo non segasta. Ja A bezina non tengalo nen galiña; polo camiño e congostra fan mais mal que no a lagostra son como abes de Rapiña, Lagumeiros, lapuzes e lacoeiros que con Achaque da guerra quedou ynsinada A terra a consentir lacoeiros

     My nephew, little did you see in the road, because here much more happened: that people here arrived and they didn't left us wine, bread or paste, that even [unknown] was not enough for them; giving them good viand admixed with black bread, so the wheat bread is not spent. Now the neighbour has no hen or rooster; in the road and the lane they do more harm than locusts; they are like birds of prey, loafers[?], guzzlers and greedyguts that with the excuse of the war the country was left taught to consent greedyguts

   O pantrigo fíxoo Deus; a broa mandouna facer

   God made wheat bread; black bread, that He commanded to do

   (proverb)
