Translation
[Meaning] representations, likenesses. The [syllable] dei [is a] diphthong. Properly [this is] the likeness and image of Zeus, but through a misuse of language [it can be] any likeness.

Δείκηλα· μιμήματα, εἰκάσματα. τὸ δει δίφθογγον. κυρίως τὸ ὁμοίωμα καὶ εἴκελον τῷ Διΐ, καταχρηστικῶς δὲ πᾶν ὁμοίωμα.
