γε μέχρι νῦν ἔνιοι σφαγίῳ
πρὸς τοὺς καθαρμούς καὶ τῇ Ἑκάτῃ σκυλάκια μετὰ τῶν ἄλλων καθαρσίων
ἐκφέρουσι καὶ περιμάττουσι σκυλακίοις τοὺς ἁγνισμοῦ δεομένους, περισκυλακισμὸν τὸ τοιοῦτο γένος τοῦ καθαρμοῦ
καλοῦντες: ἢ λύκος μὲν ὁ λοῦπός ἐστι καὶ Λύκαια τὰ Λουπερκάλια: λύκῳ
δὲ κύων [p. 292] πολέμιος καὶ διὰ τοῦτο θύεται τοῖς Λυκαίοις;
ἢ ὅτι τοὺς Λουπέρκους ὑλακτοῦσι καὶ παραλυποῦσιν οἱ κύνες ἐν τῇ
πόλει διαθέοντας; ἢ Πανὶ μὲν ἡ θυσία γίγνεται, Πανὶ δὲ κύων προσφιλὲς
διὰ τὰ αἰπόλια;
‘διὰ τί τῷ καλουμένῳ Σεπτομουντίῳ παρεφύλαττον ὀχήμασι ζευκτοῖς
χρῆσθαι, καὶ νῦν οἱ τῶν παλαιῶν μὴ καταφρονοῦντες παραφυλάττουσι
