28 That was one of his devices, and a very clever one—belated oracles to make amends for those in which he had made bad predictions and missed the mark. Often he would promise good health to sick men before their demise, and when they died another oracle would be ready with a recantation: Seek no more for assistance against thy bitter affliction; Death now standeth in view; ’tis beyond thy power to’scape him.
29 As he was aware that the priests at Clarus and Didymi and Mallus were themselves in high repute for the same sort of divination, he made them his friends by sending many of his visitors to them, saying: Now unto Clarus begone, to the voice of my fatherApollo. to hearken.” and at another time, Visit the fane of the Branchids and hear what the oracle sayeth, and again, Make thy way unto Mallus and let Amphilochus answer.
