Pal.gr.64

...positing that the account has been left behind; for when they are brought back, they make libations of neither honey nor wine; for it is slave-like, he says, to accept [it]; but rather to receive the communion of the sacrifice, as many things as are profitable; not having received a blessing did they take, or rather they received back; or with the addition of these things they participated; and those parts of these things apportioned to the priests were living rather than dead, either by granting grace to the one who released them or by no one daring to partake of the ancient food; for as Theophrastus says in his "On Piety," they did not think it necessary to offer an expensive sacrifice to the gods, but rather of the necessary goods; and so too the poet himself says; and with this moreover they broke, at any rate, not a sacrificial victim, as a matter of unexpected fear toward the gods, they did not sacrifice... as if they were theirs, not so; and again the prayers and the libations, giving back to the gods the things below with sweet wine, they obtained a similar portion.

...on account of preventing the steam; but some say the belly; and from these not only by the slaughter of the priests in which they were from the part, and they were placed upon these members; as it seems the remaining parts of the animal are gathered; or it is not from obtaining a sacrifice; but from the fact that a certain cause no longer follows from its straight path, for the first-fruits take something, either for the sacrifice and not only the limbs, as if they had been transformed; for thus he wishes the first-fruit to be; or to deny it; or the word "rightly" is similarly missing; this is with comprehension.

But when they had prayed and cast the barley-groats,
they first drew back the heads and slaughtered and flayed them,
and they cut out the thigh-bones and covered them with fat,
making a double layer, and upon them they laid raw flesh;
and the old man burned them on split wood, and over them glowing wine
he poured; and beside him the young men held five-pronged forks in their hands.
But when the thigh-pieces were burned and they had tasted the inner parts,
they cut up the rest and pierced them with spits,
and roasted them carefully, and drew all the meat off.
But when they had ceased from their labor and had prepared the feast,
they feasted, nor did their heart lack anything of the equal feast.

He who, having pulled from the mainland, quickly dragged [the ship] down.
Thus he placed [her] in my hands; and he, rejoicing, received
the daughter from me; and these men, in place of the barley-groats, the sacrifice
set in order around the well-built altar.
B for protection
And first they pulled the heads of the animals toward the upper parts
either by these the gold-spinners marry, or those who stretched out the stakes
then they slaughtered, O most beautiful one, you who hold these battles
and with the wondrous Cilla and the firm-serving golden-royalty
or on account of this, that those who came before me should only pray
and you honored me, but greatly harmed the people of the Greeks.
Yet even now fulfill this wish for me.
Even now turn away the harsh death from the Greeks.
Thus he spoke praying; and him Phoebus Apollo heard.
And when they had prayed and poured out the barley.
They first bent back the necks and slaughtered and flayed them
and they cut out the thigh-bones and covered them with the fat;

or double
having made double the placement of the meats upon them on the altars.

And upon the thighs they placed raw members
and the old man burned split wood and dark wine
he offered as a libation; and the young men beside him held small spits in their hands.

or he cut small

And when the thigh-bones were burned up and they tasted the entrails,
they cut the other small pieces and pierced them with spits;
and they roasted them skillfully and drew all of them from the fire.
And when they ceased from the labor and prepared the feast,
or they were prepared
they feasted; and in no way was their soul lacking because of the equal portion.

or they brought out

And when they cast away the drinking and the eating out of desire

...of a verb, not sluggish; for not even beside the... not yet too much... but... elided; for just as he is not of our country, and the knee beside him the grammarian to accept; or excessively in the article in the Homeric manner; or by this they happened; I happened, they happened; and poetically a remodeling; one might say it is proper to loving-kindness, before all they prepared; as beside the "I give way" they gave way; or all the good men gave way; or they cast out the appetite for food; they were deprived of nothing; and the ancients call desire "eron"...
