Περὶ τῆς Συρίης Θεοῦ

Περὶ τῆς Συρίης Θεοῦ Lucian of Samosata
42 Prestes thei apoynten withouten nombre, of the whiche some sleen the victimes and some beren the offrynges of licours and some ben cleped Fuyrbereres and some Awtere Prestes. Whan I was there, mo than a 300 weren wont to assemblen hem for sacrifise. Thei ben clothed in whyte robes alle, and thei han a poynted cappe on here hedes.For the pointed cap, see Cumont in Daremberg-Saglio, Dict. des Ant., s.v. Syria Dea, fig. 6698, and the reference in the next note (Abd-Hadad). And everyche yeer a newe chefe preste is sett over hem, that allone wereth a robe of purpre and is crouned with a coronale of gold.Coins of Hieropolis, of the fourth century, B.c. (Babelon, Perses achéménides, No. 315), show the high priest Abd-Hadad in the dress here described. Compare Herodian 5, 3, 6 (costume of Elagabalus; cf. Dio Cassius 79, 11); Cureton, Ancient Syriac Documents, p. 41 (Sharbil, priest of Nebo); Athenaeus 5, 215 8.c. (priest of Sandan at Tarsus).
43 And therto is other gret multytude of religious men, of floyteres and piperes and Galles, and also wommen that ben wode and out of here witte.
44 Twyes each day sacrifise is perfourmed, to the which allecomen. To Iove thei sacrificen withouten ony noys, ne syngynge not ne floytynge; but whan thei presenten offrynges to Iuno, thanne thei syngen and floyten and sounen cymbales. And as to this thei mighte not telle me no thing certeyn.
