προβάτου δὲ τεκόντος ἄρνα περὶ τῇ κεφαλῇ
σχῆμα καὶ χρῶμα τιάρας ἔχοντα καὶ διδύμους ἑκατέρωθεν αὐτοῦ, βδελυχθεὶς
τὸ σημεῖον ἐκαθάρθη μὲν ὑπὸ τῶν Βαβυλωνίων, οὓς ἐξ ἔθους ἐπήγετο
πρὸς τὰ τοιαῦτα: διελέχθη δὲ πρὸς τοὺς φίλους ὡς οὐ δι᾽ αὑτόν, ἀλλὰ δι᾽
ἐκείνους ταράττοιτο, μὴ τὸ κράτος εἰς ἀγεννῆ καὶ ἄναλκιν ἄνθρωπον
ἐκλιπόντος αὐτοῦ περιστήσῃ τὸ δαιμόνιον. οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ βέλτιόν τι
σημεῖον γενόμενον τὴν ἀθυμίαν ἔλυσεν.
