To Apollo, at Aegialea, upon this Account: Apollo, having ob∣tain'd the Victory over Python, went to Aegialea, accompanied with his Sister Diana; but being frighted from thence, fled into Crete. After this, the Aegialeans were infected with an Epidemical Distemper; and being advis'd by the Prophets, to appease the two offended Deities, sent seven Boys, and as many Virgins, to entreat them to return. Apollo and Diana accepted their Piety, and came with them to the Cittadel of Aegialea; in Memory of which, a Temple was dedicated to Pi••••••, the Goddess of Perswasion; and it became a Custom, to appoint chose•• Boys and Virgins, to make a solemn Procession, in shew as if they design'd to bring back Apollo and Diana; which Solemnity was con∣tinued till Pausanias's Time (a) 1.1.
