page 143 note 1 Le Bonniec rejects the usual view that the aediles derived their name from the aedes Cereris: even before the building of the temple the plebs as such had various sanctuaries called aedes, and the aediles were the officials in charge of these (356 f.).

page 143 note 1 Le Bonniec (337 f.) convincingly interprets the καταγωγή of Core, celebrated Sicily at the time of harvest (Diodorus v. 4), as the ‘return’ of Ceres from exile—not (Nilsson, Gr. Rel. i. 444) her descent, symbolizing the putting of the corn in silos.
