Missing Quotation Mark
Quoted text:
Attic Dialect, Crates wrote that “in earlier times parasite was the name given to those who were chosen to select the sacred grain, and there was a special repository for their use. Wherefore, in the royal code the following also stands written: ‘He who is king shall see that the magistrates are appointed and that the parasites are chosen from the demes according to the statutes. And the parasites are to select, each from his own share in the king’s office, eight quarts of barley, and those Athenians who are in the sacred precinct are to be feasted therewith according to ancestral custom.’”
