Ὅτι δὲ καὶ τῶν Διονυσίων καὶ τῶν Παναθηναίων, καὶ μέντοι καὶ τῶν Θεσμοφορίων καὶ τῶν Ἐλευσινίων τὰς τελετὰς Ὀρφεύς, ἀνὴρ Ὀδρύσης, εἰς τὰς Ἀθήνας ἐκόμισε καὶ εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἀφικόμενος τὰ τῆς Ἴσιδος καὶ τοῦ Ὀσίριδος εἰς τὰ τῆς Δηοῦς καὶ τοῦ Διονύσου μετατέθεικεν ὄργια, διδάσκει μὲν Πλούταρχος ὁ ἐκ Χαιρωνείας τῆς Βοιωτίας, διδάσκει δὲ καὶ ὁ Σικελιώτης Διόδωρος, μέμνηται δὲ καὶ Δημοσθένης ὁ ῥήτωρ καί φησι τὸν Ὀρφέα τὰς ἁγιωτάτας αὐτοῖς τελετὰς καταδεῖξαι.
