Καὶ ταῦτα μὲν ἀπὸ τῆς ἑκάστου κτήσεως ἐπινέμεται· ἄλλαι δέ εἰσιν ἐξαίρετοι πρόσοδοι πρεπωδέσταται ἱερεῦσιν αἱ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀναγομένων θυσιῶν. παντὸς γὰρ ἱερείου προστέτακται δύο τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἀπὸ δυεῖν δίδοσθαι μελῶν, βραχίονα μὲν ἀπὸ χειρὸς δεξιᾶς, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ στήθους ὅσον πῖον, τὸ μὲν ἰσχύος καὶ ἀνδρείας καὶ πάσης νομίμου πράξεως ἔν τε τῷ διδόναι καὶ λαμβάνειν καὶ ἐνεργεῖν σύμβολον, τὸ δὲ τῆς περὶ τὸν θυμὸν ἵλεω πραότητος.
