b. παρέλκει πραγμάτων ὀρθὰν ὁδόν: ὁ νοῦς οὕτως ἔχει· καίτοι γὰρ οἱ Ῥόδιοι προμαθόντες παρὰ τοῦ Ἡλίου τὴν τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς γένεσιν καὶ κατακούσαντες παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ τὸ θῦσαι τῇ θεῷ, παρ᾿ αὐτὴν τὴν ἱερουργίαν τοῦ κυριωτάτου πρὸς τὰς θυσίας ἐπελάθοντο· οὐκ ἔχοντες γὰρ πῦρ ἀνῆλθον εἰς τὴν ἀκρόπολιν, ἔνθα οἱ βωμοί· καὶ ἄνευ πυρὸς θύοντες τὸ ἱερὸν ἐποίησαν τὸ ἐν τῇ ἀκροπόλει.
