οἱ γοῦν ἐπὶ τὴν Κυλλήνην ἀναβαίνοντες, ὄρος δὲ ἐν τῇ Πελοποννήσῳ ὑψηλότατον, καὶ θύοντες τῷ καθωσιωμένῳ ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους Ἑρμῇ, ὅταν πάλιν δι’ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἀναβαίνοντες τὰς θυσίας ἐπιτελῶσιν, εὑρίσκουσι καὶ τὰ μηρία καὶ τὴν τέφραν τὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ πυρὸς ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ τάξει μένουσαν, ἐν ᾗ καὶ κατέλιπον, καὶ μήθ’ ὑπὸ πνευμάτων μήθ’ ὑπὸ ὄμβρων ἠλλοιωμένα διὰ τὸ πάντα τὰ νέφη καὶ τὰς τῶν ἀνέμων συστάσεις ὑποκάτω τῆς τοῦ ὄρους κορυφῆς συνίστασθαι.
