d. ἄλλως· μαντεῖον ἦν ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ, οὗ ἀρχηγὸς γέγονεν Ἴαμος τῇ διὰ τῶν ἐμπύρων μαντείᾳ· ᾗ καὶ μέχρι τοῦ νῦν οἱ Ἰαμίδαι χρῶνται. ἀναλαμβάνοντες γὰρ τὰ τῶν ἱερείων δέρματα ἐπιτιθέασιν εἰς τὸ πῦρ καὶ οὕτω μαντεύονται. e. ἔνιοι δὲ οὕτω φασὶ, τεμνομένοις δέρμασι μαντεύεσθαι αὐτούς· λαμβάνοντες γὰρ τὰς βύρσας τῶν ἱερείων ἔσχιζον, καὶ κατὰ τὰ σχίσματα ἐμαντεύοντο, ἀφορῶντες εἰς τὴν τομὴν, πότερον εὐθεῖά ἐστιν ἢ οὔ.
