Note:
[1] Aelian fragments 64e and 64f Domingo-Forasté (both part of 61 Hercher), shortly after the excerpt quoted under lambda 583. The reference is to an Epicurean atheist, mocking temple attendants for the pointlessness of their religious practices; and the two sentences given here look like variants of a single one. See also chi 338.
