On March 14, 1997. Carl Conrad responded to a question about the relationship
between hILASTHRION and ELEOS/ELEES (He says there aint none by the way. Sorry
about that Carl, I am sure you would never say "there aint none."). That's the
only message on hILASTARION which I saved and added to my B-Greek lexicon. I'm
sure there were others around that date though.

Hope this helps.
