8736. These saints, whom their servants greet as lords, call the sun the face of the highest Lord, believing that He has His dwelling place there, which also explains why they are sun-worshippers. All other inhabitants detest them and refuse to mix with them, both because they are sun-worshippers and because they call themselves lords, being venerated by their servants as mediator-gods.
