προστέτακται δ’ ἀνάγειν θυσίας μόσχους δύο, κριὸν ἕνα καὶ ἑπτὰ ἀμνούς, ταῦτα μὲν δέκα ἱερεῖα ὁλόκαυτα, δύο δ’ ἀμνοὺς εἰς βρῶσιν ἱερέων, οὓς ἐπικαλεῖ σωτηρίου διὰ τὸ τὰς τροφὰς ἀνθρώποις ἐκ πολλῶν καὶ παντοδαπῶν διασεσῶσθαι· φθοραὶ γὰρ εἰώθασι καταλαμβάνειν, αἱ μὲν ἐπομβρίαις, αἱ δ’ αὐχμοῖς, αἱ δ’ ἄλλαις ἀμυθήτοις νεωτεροποιΐαις, αἱ δ’ αὖ χειροποίητοι κατ’ ἐφόδους ἐχθρῶν τὴν τῶν πέλας γῆν δῃοῦν ἐπιχειρούντων.
