Diogenes Laertius, Vitae philosophorum 8.1.37: … έρασι, τοῖς παρισώμασιν, τοῖς ἀποπλάνοις, τοῖς μεγέθεσιν νουβυστικῶς. Μνησίμαχος δʼ Ἀλκμαίωνι· ὡς Πυθαγοριστὶ θύομεν τῷ Λοξίᾳ, ἔμψυχον οὐδὲν ἐσθίοντες παντελῶς.

Lucian of Samosata, Dialogi deorum 10.1: … ἐκεῖνος; εἶτα πῶς σύριγγα οὐκ ἔχεις οὐδὲ κέρατα οὐδὲ λάσιος εἶ τὰ σκέλη; Μόνον γὰρ ἐκεῖνον ἡγῇ θεόν; Ναί· καὶ θύομέν γε αὐτῷ ἔνορχιν τράγον ἐπὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ἄγοντες, ἔνθα ἕστηκε· σὺ δὲ ἀνδραποδιστής τις εἶναί μοι δοκεῖς.
