καὶ Ζωροάστρης δὲ ὁ μάγος ἐν τῇ ἱερᾷ συναγωγῇ τῶν Περσικῶν φησι κατὰ λέξιν ῾ ὁ δὲ θεός ἐστι κεφαλὴν ἔχων ἱέρακος. οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ πρῶτος ἄφθαρτος, ἀίδιος, ἀγένητος, ἀμερὴς, ἀνομοιότατος, ἡνίοχος παντὸς καλοῦ, ἀδωροδόκητος , ἀγαθῶν ἀγαθώτατος, φρονίμων φρονιμώτατος · ἔστι δὲ καὶ πατὴρ εὐνομίας καὶ δικαιοσύνης, αὐτοδίδακτος , φυσικὸς, καὶ τέλειος, καὶ σοφὸς, καὶ ἱεροῦ φυσικοῦ μόνος εὑρετής.᾿ τὰ δ’ αὐτὰ καὶ Ὀστάνης φησὶ περὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐπιγραφομένῃ Ὀκτατεύχῳ."
