 Even at Cyrene, the women think it wrong to eat the flesh of the cow, honoring in this Isis, the Egyptian goddess, whom they worship both with fasts and festivals.The Barcaean women abstain, not from cow's flesh only, but also from the flesh of swine.Those Libyans supposedly did not eat the flesh of swine, because it was associated with "Set", while they did not eat the cow's flesh, because it was associated with Isis.
