Stobaeus ecl. II 67, 20 W. λέγουσι δὲ καὶ ἱερέα μόνον εἶναι τὸν σοφόν, φαῦλον δὲ μηδένα. τὸν γὰρ ἱερέα εἶναι δεῖν ἔμπειρον νόμων τῶν περὶ θυσίας καὶ εὐχὰς καὶ καθαρμοὺς καὶ ἱδρύσεις καὶ πάντα τὰ τοιαῦτα, πρὸς δὲ τούτοις καὶ ἁγιστείας τε καὶ εὐσεβείας δεῖσθαι καὶ ἐμπειρίας τῆς τῶν θεῶν θεραπείας, καὶ ⟨τοῦ⟩ ἐντὸς εἶναι τῆς φύσεως τῆς θείας. Μηδ’ ἓν ⟨δέ τ⟩ι τούτων ὑπάρχειν τῷ φαύλῳ, διὸ καὶ πάντας εἶναι τοὺς ἄφρονας ἀσεβεῖς. Τὴν γὰρ ἀσέβειαν κακίαν οὖσαν, ἄγνοιαν εἶναι θεῶν θεραπείας, τὴν δ’ εὐσέβειαν, ὡς εἴπομεν (p. 62, 2), ἐπιστήμην θεῶν θεραπείας.
