Passage 2.26.5
Ἀρεσθάνας δὲ---ὄνομα γὰρ τῷ ποιμένι τοῦτο ἦν---ὡς τὸν ἀριθμὸν οὐχ εὕρισκεν ὁμολογοῦντα τῶν αἰγῶν καὶ ὁ κύων ἅμα ἀπεστάτει τῆς ποίμνης, οὕτω τὸν Ἀρεσθάναν ἐς πᾶν φασιν ἀφικνεῖσθαι ζητήσεως, εὑρόντα δὲ ἐπιθυμῆσαι τὸν παῖδα ἀνελέσθαι· καὶ ὡς ἐγγὺς ἐγίνετο, ἀστραπὴν ἰδεῖν ἐκλάμψασαν ἀπὸ τοῦ παιδός, νομίσαντα δὲ εἶναι θεῖόν τι, ὥσπερ ἦν, ἀποτραπέσθαι. ὁ δὲ αὐτίκα ἐπὶ γῆν καὶ θάλασσαν πᾶσαν ἠγγέλλετο τά τε ἄλλα ὁπόσα βούλοιτο εὑρίσκειν ἐπὶ τοῖς κάμνουσι καὶ ὅτι ἀνίστησι τεθνεῶτας.
But Aresthanas—for this was the shepherd's name—as he found the number of his goats not matching up, and as the dog also kept apart from the flock, became, they say, entirely absorbed in searching. When he had found the child, he wished to take him up. Yet, as he approached, he saw a flash of lightning shining forth from the child. Considering this to be something divine, as indeed it was, he turned away. Immediately thereafter, the child became known widely over the entire earth and every sea, both for discovering remedies for the sick according to his will, and also for raising the dead.
