Translation: The Artemis[1] who is honored among [the] Tauroi of Scythia.[2] Or [sc. so called] from a part, the overseer of flocks.[3] Or because the same [goddess] is [in] the moon and is drawn by bulls: she whom they call Tauropos.[4] "Surely the Tauropolos set you upon the herd of cows." For they suppose that most of those who go mad are made sick by the moon, because of [its] ruling over nocturnal fantasies.[5]

Notes:
[1] cf.
Hesychius tau252, and (according to Adler) the
Ambrosian Lexicon. Here the adjective appears in a Doric feminine nominative singular, extracted from the passage of
Sophocles about to be quoted, but at
tau 165 the adjective has a thematic (two-termination) form.

[3] That is, cattle are a part of the flocks overseen by Artemis; cf.
epsilon 2616.
[4] cf.
tau 170.
