Extract

For more than seventy years these important terms of Greek sacred vocabulary have been discussed back and forth. Recently French scholars have adduced new arguments to make their meaning clearer. Although the textual evidence, both epigraphical and literary, is not yet sufficiently plentiful to eliminate all possible doubts, it is evident that progress in the understanding of ritual terminology has been made. I should like to add some observations on the problem and to discuss some of the texts which, in the opinion of many scholars, need clarification.
