Who is the ‘Associate-founder’ (mixarchagetas）
at Argos, and who are the ‘Averters’ (elasioi)?
They call Castor the Associate-founder, and think
that he is buried in Argive territory, but Poly deuces
they reverence as one of the Olympians. Persons
who have the reputed ability to turn away attacks
of epilepsy they call Avertere, and these are thought
to be of the descendants of Alexida, the daughter of
Amphiaraüs.
