How to quote this translation

Παρὰ δὲ Ὁμήρου Ὀνομάκριτος παραλαβὼν τῶν Τιτάνων τὸ ὄνομα Διονύσωι τε συνέθηκεν ὄργια καὶ εἶναι τοὺς Τιτᾶνας τῶι Διονύσωι τῶν παθημάτων ἐποίησεν αὐτουργούς.

Onomacritus, having taken from Homer the name of the Titans, set up mystical rites for Dionysus and made the Titans authors of the sufferings of Dionysus.
