συνελθόντος δὲ τοῦ δήμου παντὸς ἔν τε τοῖς ῥηθεῖσιν τόποις καὶ ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ τῆς Ἀρτέμιδος, ὃ ἐν τῷ Ἀουεντίνῳ λόφῳ καθίδρυται, σῖτον καὶ κριθὴν ἕκαστος φέρει καὶ κύαμον. καὶ ταῖς Μοίραις ἄγουσι παννυχίδας μετὰ σεμνότητος ἐν νυξίν. ἐνστάντος δὲ τοῦ χρόνου τῆς ἑορτῆς, ἣν ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις ἐν τῷ τοῦ Ἄρεως ἐπιτελοῦσι πεδίῳ καὶ ταῖς ἴσαις νυξίν, καθιεροῦτο τὰ τελούμενα παρὰ τὴν ὄχθην τοῦ Θύμβριδος ἐν τῷ Τάραντι. θύουσι δὲ θεοῖς Διὶ καὶ Ἥρᾳ καὶ Ἀπόλλωνι καὶ Λητοῖ καὶ Ἀρτέμιδι, καὶ προσέτι γε Μοίραις καὶ Εἰλειθυίαις καὶ Δήμητρι καὶ Ἅιδῃ καὶ Περσεφόνῃ.
