[2] On the daduch in
Athens, selected from the aristocratic genos of the Kerykes, cf.

[6]
Aelian fr. 10d Domingo-Forasté (10 Hercher) again; cf.

Demetrius Poliorketes) tampered with the timing of the Eleusinian Mysteries; see generally C.Habicht,
Athens from Alexander to Antony (Cambridge Mass. 1997) 79-80).
