οὐδὲ ἱερεὺς τῆς κατὰ Λιβύην Ἀφροδίτης σκόρδου γεύσαιτο ἄν. ἀπέχονται δὲ ἐν <οἷς> μὲν ἱεροῖς μίνθης, ἐν οἶς
ἡδυόσμου, ἐν οἶς δὲ σελίνου. ἔνιοι δὲ θᾶττον ἂν τἀς κεφαλὰς φαγεῖν φασι τῶν πατέρων ἢ κυάμους. ἀλλὰ παρ’ ἑτέροις ταῦτα ἀδιάφορα.

[224] And no one would bring an onion¹ as an offering to Zeus Casius of Pelusium,² just as no priest of the Libyan Aphrodite would taste garlic. And in some cults they abstain from mint, in others from catmint, in others from parsley. And some declare that they would sooner eat their fathers’ heads than beans.³
