Deipnosophistae 14.23

διὸ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς τοιούτοις σεμνυνόμενός φησιν μαρμαίρει δὲ μέγας δόμος χαλκῷ: πᾶσα δ᾽ Ἄρῃ κεκόσμηται στέγη λαμπραῖσιν κυνίαισι, κὰτ τᾶν λευκοὶ καθύπερθεν ἵππιοι λόφοι νεύουσιν, κεφαλαῖσιν ἀνδρῶν ἀγάλματα: χάλκιαι δὲ πασσάλοις κρυπτοῖσιν περικείμεναι λαμπραὶ κναμίδες, ἄρκος ἰσχυρῶ βέλευς θόρρακές τε νέω λίνω, κόιλαι τε κατ᾽ ἀσπίδες βεβλημέναι, πὰρ δὲ Χαλκιδικαὶ σπάθαι, πὰρ δὲ ζώματα πολλὰ καὶ κυπάσσιδες. τῶν οὐκ ἔστι λαθέσθ᾽, ἐπειδὴ πρώτισθ᾽ ὑπὸ ἔργον ἕσταμεν τόδε.
