## Text

### 1

Τινὲς μὲν οὖν τὸν ἰὸν χαλκοῦ ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον ἀνάγουσιν ἕως ἂν καὶ τὴν πᾶσαν σχεδὸν σκωρίαν ταῖς πολλαῖς ἐκμυζήσεσι δαπανήσωσιν, λειοῦντες καὶ ἐπιβάλλοντες, καὶ ἀνάγοντες διὰ τὸ λέγειν Ἀγαθοδαίμονα · λάμβανε αἰθάλας καὶ αἰθάλας. Εὑρίσκουσι δὲ οὗτοι τὸ μὲν πρῶτον, ξανθὸν, τὸ δὲ δεύτερον, λευκὸν, τὸ δὲ τρίτον, μέλαν.
