ἄτοπον γὰρ ἱερέων μὲν πρόνοιαν ἔχειν, ὡς ὁλόκληροι τὰ σώματα καὶ παντελεῖς ἔσονται, τῶν τε καταθυομένων ζῴων, ὡς οὐδὲν οὐδεμιᾷ τὸ παράπαν ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ τῇ βραχυτάτῃ χρήσεται λώβῃ, καί τινας δεῖ ὅσους ἐπ’ αὐτὸ τοῦτο χειροτονεῖν τὸ ἔργον, οὓς ἔνιοι μωμοσκόπους ὀνομάζουσιν, ἵνα ἄμωμα καὶ ἀσινῆ προσάγηται τῷ βωμῷ τὰ ἱερεῖα, τὰς δὲ περὶ θεοῦ δόξας ἐν ταῖς ἑκάστων ψυχαῖς ὑποσυγκεχύσθαι καὶ μὴ κανόνι ὀρθοῦ λόγου διακεκρίσθαι.
