Reading edition

Kaibel, CIGIS 1842:

ψυχρὸν ὕδωρ δοίη σοι ἄναξ ἐνέρων Ἀιδωνεύς, ὦ Μέλαν· ἥβης γάρ σοι ἀπώλετο φίλτατον ἄνθος

and 1488 Θ(εοῖς) Κ(αταχθονίοις). εὐψύχει, κυρία, καὶ δοῖ σοι ὁ Ὄσιρις τὸ ψυχρὸν ὕδωρ. For the analogy of the Christian refrigerium see Mr J. A. Stewart’s interesting note in the Classical Review for March 1903, p. 117, published since the above was written. See Dieterich, Nekuia p. 95, and Foucart, Recherches sur l’Origine et la Nature des Mystères d’Éleusis, Paris 1895, p. 68.
