Ἐπεὶ δὲ τῶν θυσιῶν αἱ μέν εἰσιν ὑπὲρ ἅπαντος τοῦ ἔθνους, εἰ δὲ δεῖ τἀληθὲς εἰπεῖν, ὑπὲρ ἅπαντος ἀνθρώπων γένους, αἱ δ’ ὑπὲρ ἑκάστου τῶν ἱερουργεῖν ἀξιούντων, λεκτέον πρότερον περὶ τῶν κοινῶν. θαυμαστὴ τούτων ἡ τάξις ἐστίν· αἱ μὲν γὰρ ἀνάγονται καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν, αἱ δὲ ταῖς ἑβδόμαις, αἱ δὲ νουμηνίαις καὶ ἱερομηνίαις, αἱ δὲ νηστείαις, αἱ δὲ τρισὶ καιροῖς ἑορτῶν.
