Translation: Called Sectus,[1] a philosopher, a Libyan,[2] he wrote the
Kestoi ["Charmed Girdles"] in 24 books.[3] They are physical treatises, of a sort, containing spells from the words and the charms and certain written characters and other operations. It was against him that
Origen wrote, having formulated an objection about the

Book of] Daniel.[4]

Notes:
First half of C3 CE. OCD(4) p.755, under 'Iulius Africanus,
Sextus'.
[1] That is,
Sextus.
[2] Actually from Aelia Capitolina (
Jerusalem).
[3] cf. under
kappa 1428.
[4] cf.
sigma 856. But actually the objection (involving the genealogy of Jesus) was made by Africanus himself in a letter to
Origen (for whom see
omega 182).
