Geographica 7.8.51

Original


ὅτι τοὺς ἐν τῇ Σαμοθρᾴκῃ τιμωμένους θεοὺς εἰρήκασι πολλοὶ τοὺς αὐτοὺς τοῖς Καβείροις, οὐδ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἔχοντες λέγειν τοὺς Καβείρους οἵτινές εἰσι, καθάπερ τοὺς Κύρβαντας καὶ Κορύβαντας, ὡς δ᾽ αὕτως Κουρῆτας καὶ Ἰδαίους Δακτύλους.

Translation in Greek


Πολλοί συγγραφείς έχουν ταυτίσει τους θεούς που λατρεύονται στη Σαμοθράκη με τους Κάβειρους,  αν και δεν μπορούν να πουν ποιοι ακριβώς είναι οι Κάβειροι, γιατί και οι Κύρβαντες και οι Κορύβαντες, όπως και οι Κουρήτες αλλά και οι Ιδαίοι Δάκτυλοι ταυτίζονται με αυτούς.

Translation in English


Many writers have identified the gods that are worshipped in Samothrace with the Cabeiri, though they cannot say who the Cabeiri themselves are, just as the Cyrbantes and Corybantes, and likewise the Curetes and the Idaean Dactyli, are identified with them.
