The Handbook of Epictetus
Handbook 31.5
Translated by Clint Miller
English
But pouring libations, offering sacrifices, and giving first fruits according to ancestral custom is proper for everyone – done with a pure heart, not sloppily or carelessly, not stingily either, and not beyond your means.
Greek
σπένδειν δὲ καὶ θύειν καὶ ἀπάρχεσθαι κατὰ τὰ πάτρια ἑκάστοτε προσήκει καθαρῶς καὶ μὴ ἐπισεσυρμένως μηδὲ ἀμελῶς μηδέ γε γλίσχρως μηδὲ ὑπὲρ δύναμιν.
