[3] Τὰ δὲ ἱερεῖα πολλὰ μὲν ἦν καὶ ποικίλα, διέπρεπον δὲ ἐν αὐτοῖς οἱ τοῦ Νείλου βόες. Βοῦς γὰρ Αἰγύπτιος οὐ τὸ μέγεθος μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ τὴν χρόαν εὐτυχεῖ: τὸ μὲν γὰρ μέγεθος πάνυ μέγας, τὸν αὐχένα παχύς, τὸ νῶτον πλατύς, τὴν γαστέρα πολύς, τὸ κέρας οὐχ ὡς ὁ Σικελικὸς εὐτελὴς οὐδ̓ ὡς ὁ Κύπριος δυσειδής, ἀλλ̓ ἐκ τῶν κροτάφων ὄρθιον ἀναβαῖνον, κατὰ μικρὸν ἑκατέρωθεν κυρτούμενον τὰς κορυφὰς συνάγει τοσοῦτον, ὅσον αἱ τῶν κεράτων διεστᾶσιν ἀρχαί: καὶ τὸ θέαμα κυκλουμένης σελήνης ἐστὶν εἰκών: ἡ χρόα δὲ οἵαν Ὅμηρος ἐν τοῖς τοῦ Θρᾳκὸς ἵπποις ἐπαινεῖ.
