CD 7.26 ut post mortem vivat beate, which is increasingly though not necessarily validly being taken as referring to the aspirations of those who castrate themselves: N. p. 83, Sfameni Gasparro, op. cit., p. 105, Burkert, W., Ancient Mystery Cults, Cambridge Ma., 1987, p. 25Google Scholar. Hepding, p. 70, notably omits the passage.
