καλοῦσιν Ἕλληνες Ἀργώ, τῆς Ὀσίριδος
νεὼς εἴδωλον ἐπὶ τιμῇ κατηστερισμένον, οὐ μακρὰν φέρεσθαι τοῦ Ὠρίωνος
καὶ τοῦ Κυνός, ὧν τὸ μὲν Ὥρου τὸ 1 δ᾽ Ἴσιδος ἱερὸν Αἰγύπτιοι νομίζουσιν.
ὀκνῶ δέ, μὴ τοῦτ᾽ τὰ ἀκίνητα κινεῖν καὶ ‘πολεμεῖν οὐ τῷ πολλῷ
χρόνῳ’ κατὰ Σιμωνίδην 2 μόνον,
‘πολλοῖς δ᾽ ἀνθρώπων ἔθνεσι’ καὶ γένεσι κατόχοις ὑπὸ τῆς πρὸς
τοὺς θεοὺς τούτους ὁσιότητος, οὐδὲν ἀπολιπόντας ἐξ 3 οὐρανοῦ μεταφέρειν ἐπὶ
γῆν ὀνόματα τηλικαῦτα, καὶ τιμὴν καὶ
πίστιν ὀλίγου
