[2] ἔδει δὲ [p. 358] τὴν θυσίαν γενέσθαι τρόπῳ τῷ συνήθει. Τὸ μέλλον ἱερεῖον θύεσθαι, εἴτε ἄνθρωπος εἴτε βόσκημα εἴη, κρεμάσαντες ἐκ δένδρου καὶ διαστάντες ἠκόντιζον: καὶ ὁπόσοι μὲν ἐπέτυχον, τούτων ὁ θεὸς ἐδόκει δέχεσθαι τὴν θυσίαν: ὁπόσοι δὲ ἀπέτυχον, αὖθις ἐξιλάσκοντο: ἔδει δὲ τὴν Ἄνθειαν οὕτως ἱερουργηθῆναι.
