Itaque Aegyptii Chaldaeique, iussi corpus suo more curare, primo non sunt ausi admovere velut spiranti manus; deinde precati, ut ius fasque esset mortalibus attrectare deum, purgavere corpus, repletumque est odoribus aureum solium et capiti adiecta fortunae eius insignia.
And so the Egyptians and Chaldeans who were ordered to care for the body after their manner, at first, as if he were still breathing, did not dare to lay their hands upon him; then after praying that it might be right and lawful for mortals to handle a god, they emptied the body of entrails, the golden coffin was filled with perfumes, and the emblem of his rank was placed upon the kings head.
