On the Mysteries

the gods do not pay attention to. Whence [could] these [things] be laid away for a private person, which are not at all proper to them. To be disposed thus, therefore, is a secondary work and is otherwise, as far as memory is worthy. But the paths toward these, upon the completion of the priestly therapy, of the reason receiving that which is fitting. You honor [it] only as true, [but] it is not to say it is careless, nor of betrayal, but you are at a loss to pray toward him. But I do not think [it] causes me to be at a loss in praying to our divine [one] and now, or if you would want to perform the [thing] itself, then the expiation to them [is] raised, prayers being raised, it desires the name differently, let it be placed again as self-perfection. It seems [it is] impossible to believe these things, how [when] the voice is these bodies, and again with sensation toward the request. Superior to the prayers said by us to them [it is] to be in the abundance of the superior [beings]. The things [of] the people must be flowed, and to contain [it] flows to them, together the wholes. Neither indeed therefore of bodies, nor which they say they embrace as themselves the gods provide. But not surrounding themselves with [those] who are served by reasonable [means]. To put them to sleep, whoever the sacred rank works [and] they happen to be protected, being guarded by the gods. For such things simply preserve the divine itself toward itself. Commonly another [action] doing to these prayers, of thoughts. Again the same that you say, again [that which is] sufficiently divine-fitting, let it add the purity of this. By no means is such a thing impossible, as being forgotten and in purity, and to all [things] falling behind the gods, being encountered in the [ones] who have held [it] the suppliants... our sensations of the one who contains his own nothingness. [When] we judge our transcription [as] to the gods. It makes [one] to desire toward the petitions naturally. But from the [thing] that is lying, to press, toward that which moves [and] is led up. And to the end...

these things [when] performing [the ritual] are to be grasped together with them
