"If a stranger passes by the gate during the dinner, the politeness of the Mangrelians requires that they immediately approach the man and invite him in. That is why they never close the gate when eating, and they often sit dining near the roadway: when a stranger passes by, they invite him to the table without hesitation."

Arcangelo Lamberti, Italian missionary, XVII century.

"No nation respects agriculture as much as the Samegrelo peope, everywhere else, only the lower-class people work on the land. In Samegrelo, men of great families cultivate their own lands and grow their own food. They do not consider this matter to be a matter of honour or hesitation."
 

Arcangelo Lamberti, Italian missionary, XVII century.
