Quotation
ταὐτὰ δὲ ταῦτα καὶ Σίβυλλαν εὑρήσετε μαντευομένην ὑμῖν καὶ Βάκιν, εἴπερ ἀγαθὼ χρησμολόγω καὶ μάντιε ἐγενέσθην. ὡς δὲ νῦν τὰ παρόντα διάκειται, χρημάτων ἕνεκα πλήθους, ἃ πάντα πανταχόθεν εἰς ἕνα τοῦτον ἤθροισται τὸν τόπον, τρυφῆς ἐπικρατούσης καὶ πλεονεξίας, ὅμοιόν ἐστιν ὥσπερ εἰ τὴν τοῦ Πατρόκλου πυρὰν κοσμήσας ὁ Ἀχιλλεὺς πολλῶν μὲν ξύλων, πολλῶν δὲ σωμάτων καὶ ἐσθῆτος, ἔτι δὲ πιμελῆς τε καὶ ἐλαίου πρὸς τούτοις, παρακαλεῖ τοὺς ἀνέμους σπένδων καὶ θυσίας ὑπισχνούμενος ἐλθόντας ἐμπρῆσαί τε καὶ ἀνάψαι.
