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". |
