Description

The list enumerates five mythical men and their fathers or both parents (gen.), who are connected with the cult of gods, most of them with Demeter. In the case of Triptolemos, three variants regarding the parents are recorded. According to Salvadori Balsascino, the text might be a compendium made for school use, through the hand is not that of a beginner. No comparable catalogue seems to exist.
