Ἔστι δὲ ἐν τῷ Πηλουσίῳ Διὸς ἱερὸν ἄγαλμα Κασίου: τὸ δὲ ἄγαλμα νεανίσκος, Ἀπόλλωνι μᾶλλον ἐοικώς: οὕτω γὰρ ἡλικίας εἶχε: προβέβληται δὲ τὴν χεῖρα καὶ ἔχει ῥοιὰν ἐπ̓ αὐτῇ: τῆς δὲ ῥοιᾶς ὁ λόγος μυστικός. [2] Προσευξάμενοι δὴ τῷ θεῷ καὶ περὶ τοῦ Κλεινίου καὶ τοῦ Σατύρου σύμβολον ἐξαιτήσαντες （καὶ γὰρ ἔλεγον μαντικὸν εἶναι τὸν θεόν） περιῄειμεν τὸν νεών. [3] Κατὰ δὲ τὸν ὀπισθόδομον ὁρῶμεν εἰκόνα διπλῆν, καὶ ὁ γραφεὺς ἐπεγέγραπτο: Εὐάνθης μὲν ὁ γραφεύς, ἡ δὲ εἰκὼν Ἀνδρομέδα καὶ Προμηθεύς, δεσμῶται μὲν ἄμφω ‘διὰ τοῦτο γὰρ αὐτούς, οἶμαι, εἰς ἓν συνήγαγεν ὁ ζωγράφος’, ἀδελφαὶ δὲ καὶ τὴν ἄλλην τύχην αἱ γραφαί. [4] Πέτραι μὲν ἀμφοῖν τὸ δεσμωτήριον, θῆρες δὲ κατ̓ ἀμφοῖν οἱ δήμιοι, τῷ μὲν ἐξ ἀέρος, τῇ δὲ ἐκ θαλάττης: ἐπίκουροι δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἀργεῖοι δύο συγγενεῖς, τῷ μὲν Ἡρακλῆς, τῇ δὲ Περσεύς: ὁ μὲν τοξεύων τὸν ὄρνιν τοῦ Διός, ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ κῆτος τοῦ Ποσειδῶνος ἀθλῶν. Ἀλλ̓ ὁ μὲν ἵδρυται τοξαζόμενος ἐν γῇ, ὁ δὲ ἐξ ἀέρος κρέμαται τῷ πτερῷ.
