First sentence: TWO months before the full moon of the month of Boedromion, which nearly corresponds to September (old style) heralds, selected from the priestly families of Keryces and Eumolpidae, went forth to announce to those Greeks who were on good terms with Athens the forthcoming celebration of the Mysteries, while to those who were waging war a holy armistice was proclaimed.
