This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

By chance I had to look up the Greek word for servant (????????). The 
"servant of the eleven" in Athens was the executioner or his servant. 
Servant is also the greek translation of Lictor. The lictor is an 
official of the roman state but the term is also used for servitor in 
the cult cult of Mithras.
