[556] μαντείης: obviously with “διδάσκαλοι”. The Thriae were teachers of private divination, although not of the highest oracular “μαντεία”, to which Apollo attained after his boyhood.
ἀΠάνευθε: not “apart from men,” but, as the context shews, “apart from me”; the Thriae had given Apollo his first lesson in divination, and still continued their art, though the god had outgrown it.This text is part of:
