On arriving at manhood you assisted your mother in her initiations,in her initiations: she was an expert in Bacchic
or Sabazian rites imported from Phrygia. reading the service-book while she
performed the ritual, and helping generally with the paraphernalia. At night it
was your duty to mix the libations, to clothe the catechumens in fawn-skins, to
wash their bodies, to scour them with the loam and the bran, and, when their
lustration was duly performed, to set them on their legs, and give out the
hymn:Here I leave my sins behind,Here the better way I find; and it was your pride that
no one ever emitted that holy ululation so powerfully as yourself. I can well
believe it! When you hear the stentorian tones of the orator, can you doubt that
the ejaculations of the acolyte were simply magnificent?
