Translation:
A deity,[1] whose head alone is venerated.[2] Mnaseas in his [treatise] On Europe [says] that Soter and his sister Praxidike ['Penalty-Exacter'] had a son Ktesios and daughters Homonoia and Arete, who were called Penalty-Exacters after their mother.[3] Dionysios in Foundations [sc. says that it was] daughters of Ogygos -- Alkomeneia, Thelxineia, Aulis -- who were afterwards named Penalty-Exacters.[4]
