Archaeologists have yet to settle the
sponge-on-stick debate But they have
uncovered samples of pessoi a humbler,
ancient Greek and Roman toilet paper
equivalent. Consisting of small oval or
circular pebbles or pieces of broken
ceramic, pessoi have been uncovered in
the ruins of ancient Roman and Greek
latrines. They’ re even immortalized on a
2,Zo0-year-old drinking cup that shows
a man
squatting and making use of his
stone. Pessoi even rate a mention in the
Talmud.

또는 도편올 발견햇다고 한다.
또한 유물의 그림은 pessoi로 항문올 닦는 사람을 묘사하고 있다.
이외에 고대 그리스 속담으로 ‘뒤 닦논데는 돌 세개면 충분하다(원문:
Three stones are enough to wipe) ‘가 있다고 하니
고대 그리스인들은 진짜로 돌로 닦앞던 것으로 보인다 .
