Αὐτίκα γοῦν τῶν Αἰγυπτίων ὑμῶν οἱ ἀρχηγέται, οἱ περὶ μετεωρολογίας αὐχοῦντες καὶ τῶν ἄστρων τὰς φύσεις διακρίνειν ἐπαγγελλόμενοι, ὑπὸ κακῆς αὑτοῖς ἐνδομυχούσης ὑπονοίας πάσῃ ἀτιμίᾳ ὅσον τὸ κατ᾽ αὐτοὺς ὑπέβαλον. οἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρέδοσαν βοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον Ἄπιν σέβειν, οἱ δὲ τράγον, οἱ δὲ αἴλουρον, οἱ δὲ ὄφιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἰχθὺν καὶ κρόμμυα καὶ γαστρῶν πνεύματα καὶ ὀχετοὺς καὶ ἀλόγων ζώων μέλη. καὶ ἄλλοις μυρίοις πάνυ ἐχθροῖς ἀτοπήμασιν.
