Note 53 — ON ABSTINENCE FROM ANIMAL FOOD. BOOK THE SECOND.

Thomas Taylor translation

In the original, Θύσομεν τοινυν και ημεις· αλλα θυσομεν, ως προσηκει, διαφορους τας θυσιας, ως αν διαφοροις δυναμεσι προσαγοντες. This Valentinus erroneously translates as follows: “Sacrificabimus igitur etiam et nos, sed prout decet, victimas scilicet eximias potestatibus eximiis adducentes.” For διαφορους and διαφοροις, in this passage, evidently mean different, and not excellent.
