ἔστιν δὲ καὶ ἄλλης θυσίης τρόπος τοιόσδε. στέψαντες τὰ ἱρήια, ζῳὰ ἐκ τῶν προπυλαίων ἀπιᾶσιν, τὰ δὲ κατενεχθέντα θνήσκουσιν. ἔνιοι δὲ καὶ παῖδας ἑωυτῶν ἐντεῦθεν ἀπιᾶσιν, οὐκ ὁμοίως τοῖς κτήνεσιν, ἀλλʼ ἐς πήρην ἐνθέμενοι χειρὶ κατάγουσιν, ἅμα δὲ αὐτέοισιν ἐπικερτομέοντες λέγουσιν ὅτι οὐ παῖδες, ἀλλὰ βόες εἰσίν.
