νόμοισι δὲ ἐς ταῦτα χρέωνται τουτέοισι. ἢν μέν τις αὐτέων νέκυν ἴδηται, ἐκείνην τὴν ἡμέρην ἐς τὸ ἱρὸν οὐκ ἀπικνέεται, τῇ ἑτέρῃ δὲ καθήρας ἑωυτὸν ἐσέρχεται. αὐτῶν δὲ τῶν οἰκείων τοῦ νέκυος ἕκαστοι φυλάξαντες ἀριθμὸν ἡμερέων τριήκοντα καὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς ξυράμενοι ἐσέρχονται· πρὶν δὲ τάδε ποιῆσαι, οὐ σφίσι ἐσιέναι ὅσιον.
