Τὰ τῷ χρώματι ὅμοια εἰς ταὐτὸν ἀποβαίνει. Αἰθίοπά τις λαβὼν δῶρον μεθʼ ἡμέραν ἀνθράκων πλῆρες ἐδέξατο ἀγγεῖον. Αἱ περιοχαὶ τῶν μυστηρίων ὅμοια τὰ ἀποτελέσματα ποιοῦσι καὶ ἐν χρόνῳ τοσούτῳ ὁρώμενα ἐν ὅσῳ τελεῖται τὰ μυστήρια. γυνὴ ἔδοξε χορεύειν τῷ Διονύσῳ μεθυσθεῖσα. τὸ ἑαυτῆς παιδίον ἀπέκτεινεν ὂν τριετές. καὶ γὰρ ὁ περὶ Πενθέα καὶ Ἀγαυὴν λόγος τοιοῦτος, καὶ τῷ θεῷ τριετηρίδες ἄγονται ἑορταί. Ὅτι τὸ ἐργάζεσθαι τῷ ζῆν τὸν αὐτὸν ἔχει λόγον, παρακείσθω σοι ὅδε ὁ ὄνειρος. γυνὴ ἔδοξεν ἱστὸν ἐξυφαγκέναι. τῇ ὑστεραίᾳ ἀπέθανεν οὐκέτι γὰρ εἶχεν ἔργον, τοῦτʼ ἔστιν οὐκέτι εἶχε τὸ ζῆν.
