‘‘ [2] ἄκουσον δὲ ποίῳ τρόπῳ. Δέρμα προβάτου λαβόντες ὡς ὅτι ῥαδινώτατον συρράψωμεν εἰς σχῆμα βαλαντίου, μέτρον ὅσον γαστρὸς ἀνθρωπίνης, εἶτ̓ ἐμπλήσαντες θηρείων σπλάγχνων καὶ αἵματος, τὴν πλαστὴν ταύτην γαστέρα ῥάψωμεν, ὡς ἂν μὴ ῥᾳδίως τὰ σπλάγχνα διεκπίπτοι, καὶ ἐνσκευάσαντες τὴν κόρην τοῦτον τὸν τρόπον καὶ στολὴν ἔξωθεν περιβαλόντες μίτραις τε καὶ ζώμασιν ἐνδεδεμένῃ τὴν σκευὴν ταύτην ἐπικρύψωμεν. ’’
