Comments TLL: has 3 other attestations, one of which flagged 'in Graecia'. Possible candidate for c-s. Greek δεικτήριον. Patrick James: We may have a code-switch by Fronto to a very rare Greek word (only as a technical term that seems irrelevant to the context) or, more likely in my view, Fronto reflects an established, but marginal Latin term for a kind of song.
