[317] ἕτερον δέ ἐστιν οὐκ ἀποδέον τούτου δεῖγμα σαφέστατον τῆς βουλήσεως τοῦ Σεβαστοῦ· διετάξατο γὰρ ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων προσόδων ἀνάγεσθαι θυσίας ἐντελεχεῖς ὁλοκαύτους τῷ ὑψίστῳ θεῷ καθ’ ἑκάστην
ἡμέραν, αἳ καὶ μέχρι νῦν ἐπιτελοῦνται· ἄρνες εἰσὶ δύο καὶ ταῦρος τὰ ἱερεῖα, οἷς Καῖσαρ ἐφαίδρυνε τὸν βωμὸν ἐπιστάμενος σαφῶς, ὅτι οὐδέν ἐστιν ἀφίδρυμα οὔτε φανερὸν οὔτε ἀφανές·

[317] "There is also another piece of evidence, in no respect inferior to this one, and which is the most undeniable proof of the will of Augustus, for he commanded perfect sacrifices of whole burnt offerings to be offered up to the most high God every day, out of his own revenues, which are performed up to the present time, and the victims are two sheep and a bull, with which Caesar honoured the altar of God, well knowing that there is in the temple no image erected, either in open sight or in any secret part of it.
