Translation
In a special sense [this is] the shrine of Aphrodite.1
"He recounted [this] in the speech eagerly and with an Aphrodite2 not particularly extraordinary." Aelian [sc. says this].3
And [there is] a proverb: "an Aphrodisian oath may be violated with impunity", in reference to those who because of passion swear [oaths] often and swear falsely.4
