LVII THE THREE BEAUTIES OF MNASIDIKA
Mitchell S. (Mitchell Starrett) Buck translation
SO that Mnasidika may be protected by the gods, I have sacrificed to the Aphrodite-who-loves-the-smiles, two male hares and two doves.
And I have sacrificed to Ares two cocks armed for fighting, and to sinister Hecate two dogs that howled under the knife.
And it is not without reason that I have implored these three immortals, for Mnasidika carries on her countenance the reflection of their triple divinity.
Her lips are red like copper, her hair bluish like iron and her eyes black like silver.
