As for the general himself, he rides on a car behind a team of panthers; he is quite beardless, without even the least bit of down on his cheek, has horns, wears a garland of grape clusters, ties up his hair with a ribbon, and is in a purple gown and gilt slippers. He has two lieutenants. OneSilenus is a short, thick-set old man with a big belly, a flat nose and large, up-standing ears, who is a bit shaky and walks with a staff (though for the most part he rides on an ass), and is also in a woman’s gown, which is yellow; he is a very appropriate aide to such a chief! The otherPan is a misbegotten fellow like a goat in the underpinning, with hairy legs, horns, and a long beard; he is choleric and hot-headed, carries a shepherd’s pipe in his left hand and brandishes a crooked stick in his right, and goes bounding all about the army. The women are afraid of him; they toss their hair in the wind when he comes near and cry out ‘Evoe.’ This we suppose to be the name of their ruler. The flocks have already been harried - by the women, and the animals torn limb from limb while still alive; for they are eaters of raw meat.”
