First sentence: IN the following Milesian narration, I will insert various fables, and charm your benevolent ears with a elegant and pleasing murmur; if you will not disdain to look into this Egyptian papyrus, written with the delightful subtilty of a Nilotic reed; and containing and admirable account of men changed into different forms, and, by certain vicissitudes again restored to themselves.
