SKB
En dag, när vi var på väg till böneplatsen, möttes vi av en slavflicka. Hon hade [var under inflytande av] en spådomsande (gr. python) och hennes ägare tjänade stora pengar på hennes förmåga att spå. [Denna unga flicka hade ordagrant ”en python-ande”. Inom grekiska mytologin var Python den drake som vaktade Apollos tempel. Det var samma ande som talade till oraklet i Delfi, vars unga flickor som var prästinnor kallades just för Pythia. Inga greker vågade ta några avgörande beslut utan att först ha rådfrågat ett orakel, vilket gjorde att den här flickan gav goda inkomster åt sina herrar.]
