dicere: 'Encolpion quod quaeris, scito a me in navem tuam esse
perductum.” ' Exhorruit Tryphaena et “Putes” inquit “una
nos dormiisse; nam et mihi simulacrum Neptuni, quod Baiis in tetrastylo1 notaveram, videbatur dicere: in nave Lichae Gitona
invenies.'”
“Hinc scies” inquit Eumolpus “Epicurum esse hominem divinum, qui
eiusmodi ludibria facetissima ratione condemnat” ...

inquit “prohibet navigium scrutari, ne videamur divinae mentis opera
damnare?”
[p. 212]
Is qui nocte miserorum furtum deprehenderat, Hesus nomine, subito proclamat:

capillos deponere, nisi cum pelago ventus irascitur.”
