On the Mysteries
Legal protection granted to informers if their information proves true.
From Megara he informed the Council that if immunity were granted him, he was prepared not only to lodge an information with regard to the Mysteries—as one of the participants, he would reveal the names of his companions—but he would also tell what he knew of the mutilation of the Hermae.
As soon as immunity had been voted him, he stated that Mysteries had been celebrated in Pulytion’s house.
Grant immunity to him whom I indicate, and a non-initiate, a slave belonging to someone here present, shall describe the Mysteries to you.
Against Leptines
Civic exemption or privilege that Leptines' law restricts or abolishes.
None, says this law, shall be immune save and except the descendants of Harmodius and Aristogiton.
