ὁ μὲν γὰρ τοῦ Διὸς βοηθείαις ἀνθρωπίναις διὰ πλούτων ἀξιωμάτων τά τε σίνη κρύπτειν εἴωθε καὶ τὰ πάθη παρηγορεῖν, σὺν δὲ τῷ τοῦ Ἑρμοῦ καὶ φαρμακείαις ἢ ἰατρῶν ἀγαθῶν ἐπικουρίαις, ὁ δὲ τῆς Ἀφροδίτης διὰ προφάσεως θεῶν καὶ χρησμῶν τὰ μὲν σίνη τρόπον τινὰ εὔμορφα καὶ ἐπιχάριτα κατασκευάζει, τὰ δὲ πάθη ταῖς ἀπὸ θεῶν ἰατρείαις εὐπαρηγόρητα, τοῦ μέντοι· τοῦ Κρόνου προσόντος μετὰ παραδειγματισμῶν καὶ ἐξαγοριῶν καὶ τῶν τοιούτων, τοῦ δὲ τοῦ Ἑρμοῦ μετ’ ἐπικουρίας καὶ πορισμοῦ τινος ἢ δι’ αὐτῶν τῶν σινῶν ἢ καὶ παθῶν τοῖς ἔχουσι περιγενομένου.
