ἐπεὶ καὶ Ἀπόλλων παραινῶν θύειν κατὰ τὰ πάτρια, τοῦτʼ ἔστιν κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τῶν πατέρων, ἐπανάγειν ἔοι- κεν εἰς τὸ παλαιὸν ἔθος. τὸ δὲ παλαιὸν διὰ ποπά- νων καὶ τῶν καρπῶν ἦν, ὡς ἀπεδείξαμεν. ὅθεν καὶ θυσίαι καὶ θυηλαὶ καὶ θυμέλαι ἐκαλοῦντο, καὶ αὐτὸ τὸ θύειν τοῦ θυμιᾶν εἴχετο καὶ τοῦ νῦν παρʼ ἡμῖν λεγομένου ἐπιθύειν. ὃ γὰρ ἡμεῖς νῦν θύειν λέγομεν ἕρδειν ἔλεγον.
