μετὰ δὲ τοὺς Ἰδαίους Δακτύλους ἱστοροῦσι γενέσθαι Κούρητας ἐννέα. τούτους δ᾽ οἱ μὲν μυθολογοῦσι γεγονέναι γηγενεῖς, οἱ δ᾽ ἀπογόνους τῶν Ἰδαίων Δακτύλων. κατοικεῖν δ᾽ αὐτοὺς τῶν ὀρῶν τοὺς συνδένδρους καὶ φαραγγώδεις τόπους καὶ τὸ σύνολον τοὺς ἔχοντας σκέπην καὶ ὑπόδυσιν φυσικήν, διὰ τὸ μήπω κατασκευὰς οἰκιῶν εὑρῆσθαι. [2] διενεγκόντας δ᾽ αὐτοὺς συνέσει πολλὰ τῶν κοινῇ χρησίμων καταδεῖξαι: τάς τε γὰρ ποίμνας τῶν προβάτων τούτους ἀθροῖσαι πρώτους καὶ τὰ γένη τῶν ἄλλων βοσκημάτων ἐξημερῶσαι καὶ τὰ περὶ τὰς μελιττουργίας καταδεῖξαι. [3] ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ τὰ περὶ τὴν τοξικὴν καὶ τὰς κυνηγίας εἰσηγήσασθαι, καὶ τῆς πρὸς ἀλλήλους κοινῆς ὁμιλίας καὶ συμβιώσεως, ἔτι δ᾽ ὁμονοίας καί τινος εὐταξίας ἀρχηγοὺς γενέσθαι. [p. 92] [4] εὑρεῖν δὲ καὶ ξίφη καὶ κράνη καὶ τὰς ἐνοπλίους ὀρχήσεις, δι᾽ ὧν ποιοῦντας μεγάλους ψόφους ἀπατᾶν τὸν Κρόνον. φασὶ δ᾽ αὐτοὺς τὸν Δία, λάθρᾳ τοῦ πατρὸς Κρόνου παραδούσης Ῥέας τῆς μητρός, ὑποδέξασθαι καὶ θρέψαι: περὶ οὗ τὰ κατὰ μέρος μέλλοντας ἡμᾶς δηλοῦν ἀναγκαῖον ἀναλαβεῖν μικρὸν ἀνωτέρω τὴν διήγησιν.
