δαίμοσιν εἰλαπίναζον, ὅσοις τὸ πάροιθε μεμήλει
δαίμοσιν ἦρα φέρειν, οὐ καθαρὰς θαλίας:
τούτου χριστιανοὶ λύσιν εὕρομεν, ἀθλοφόροισι
στησάμεθ᾽ ἡμετέροις πνευματικὰς συνόδους.

νῦν δέ τι τάρβος ἔχει με: ἀκούσατε οἱ φιλόκωμοι:
πρὸς τοὺς δαιμονικοὺς αὐτομολεῖτε τύπους.

— Paton edition

In honour of the demons those who wished formerly
to gain the favour of the demons celebrated
impure banquets. This we Christians abolished, and
instituted spiritual meetings for our martyrs. But
now I am in some dread. List to me, ye revellers:
ye desert us for the rites of devils.
