διὰ τί καὶ τῷ λεγομένῳ Ὁνώρει θύουσιν ἀπαρακαλύπτῳ τῇ κεφαλῇ; τὸν δὲ Ὁνῶρεμ δόξαν ἄν τις ἢ τιμὴν μεθερμηνεύσειε. πότερον διότι λαμπρὸν ἡ δόξα καὶ περιφανὲς καὶ ἀναπεπταμένον, διʼ ἣν αἰτίαν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς καὶ τιμωμένοις ἀνδράσιν ἀποκαλύπτονται, διὰ ταύτην καὶ τὸν ἐπώνυμον τῆς τιμῆς θεὸν οὕτω προσκυνοῦσιν;
