ἡ δὲ ἐσθὴς παντοδαπή, τοῦτο μὲν ἁλουργίδων, τοῦτο δὲ φοινικῶν, τοῦτο δὲ κροκωτῶν· ἦσαν δὲ καὶ λευκοί τινες φαινόμενοι τῶν πέπλων· πολλὰ δὲ καὶ κατέρρηκτο τῆς στολῆς. χρώματα δὲ παντοδαπὰ ἠφίει, φοβουμένη καὶ ἀγωνιῶσα καὶ ἀπιστοῦσα καὶ ὀργιζομένη, καὶ ποτὲ μὲν ὑπὸ λύπης ταπεινή, ποτὲ δὲ ὑφʼ ἡδονῆς μετέωρος ἑωρᾶτο, καὶ νῦν μὲν ἐγέλα τῷ προσώπῳ πάνυ ἀσελγῶς, πάλιν δὲ εὐθὺς ἐθρήνει.
