A Festival (e) in honour of Ceres, sirnam'd Mysia, from Mysius an Ar∣••ian, who dedicated a Temple to her in a place about X. Stadia distant from Pellene in Achaia; or, according to Phurnutus, from 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉,
i. e. to cloy, to satisfy, or to be well fed, because Ceres was the first that taught Men how to use Corn. This Festival continu'd seven Days, upon the third of which all the Men and Dogs being shut out of the Temple, the Women, together with the Bitches, remain'd within, and having that Night perform'd the accustom'd Rites, on the Day follow∣ing return'd to the Men, with whom they past away the Time in jesting, and laughing at one another.
