To this purpose he has divided the population of the state into a certain number of districts. The inhabitants will assemble for the ceremonies in the nearest sanctuary. Moreover he orders that the priests have to sacrifice on the 16th and 10th of every month. This last will he had carved into the columns and let nobody dare to reach for it with sacrilegious hands!
