Ne ille miserabilis, cuius in homine mortali spes omnis innititur: totum enim eius auxilium cum extincto homine finitur! Aegyptii sane hominem sibi quem colant eligunt: ilium unum propitiant, ilium de omnibus consulunt, illi victimas caedunt.
Pitiable indeed the man whose hope is stayed upon a mortal man, with whose death all that he builds on comes to an end! True indeed that Egyptians choose a man for their worship; that they propitiate him and him alone; that they consult him on all matters and kill victims in his honour.
