ἱρέες δὲ αὐτοῖσι πολλοὶ ἀποδεδέχαται, τῶν οἱ μὲν τὰ ἱρήια σφάζουσιν, οἱ δὲ σπονδηφορέουσιν, ἄλλοι δὲ πυρφόροι καλέονται καὶ ἄλλοι παραβώμιοι. ἐπʼ ἐμεῦ δὲ πλείονες καὶ τριηκοσίων ἐς τὴν θυσίην ἀπικνέοντο. ἐσθὴς δὲ αὐτέοισι πᾶσι λευκή, καὶ πῖλον ἐπὶ τῇ κεφαλῇ ἔχουσιν. ἀρχιερεὺς δὲ ἄλλος ἑκάστου ἔτεος ἐπιγίγνεται, πορφυρέην τε μοῦνος οὗτος φορέει καὶ τιάρῃ χρυσέῃ ἀναδέεται.
