Syntactic/Grammatical Info
Context Cicero asks for information about the Eleusinian mysteries.
Comments Unknown Greek quotation, refering to the the 'ancestral rites of Eumolpus' clan' i.e. the Eleusinian mysteries. NB Shackleton Bailey points out that this is not certainly a quotation, and that "evidently, Atticus already knew what kind of information was needed".
