διόπερ οἱ περὶ τὰς χώρας ταύτας σέβουσι μὲν ὡς ἐπίπαν τὸν τῆς Ἀφροδίτης ὡς μητέρα θεῶν ποικίλοις καὶ ἐγχωρίοις ὀνόμασι προσαγορεύοντες καὶ τὸν τοῦ Ἄρεως ὡς Ἄδωνιν ἄλλως πως πάλιν ὀνομάζοντες καὶ μυστήρια τινα μετὰ θρήνων ἀποδίδοντες αὐτοῖς· περίκακοι δέ εἰσι καὶ δουλόψυχοι καὶ πονικοὶ καὶ ὑποπόνηροι καὶ ἐν μισθοφορικαῖς στρατείαις καὶ ἁρπαγαῖς καὶ αἰχμαλωσίαις γινόμενοι καταδουλούμενοί τε ἑαυτοὺς καὶ πολεμικαῖς ἀπωλείαις περιπίπτοντες·
