Gimmicks and magic arts were employed during the banquets of Armenian magi and several Jewish heretics or Gnostic leaders. The Kyranides, Hippolytus, Psellus report a series of tricks, several of which were performed at dinnner. Many of them perfectly fit with rituals performed by the Mithraists. These tricks are related with the treatises of Bolos of Mende, Anaxilaos of Larissa and the apokrypha of Zoroastros, Ostanes and other legendary magi. Therefore it is highly probable that his ‘Persian’ magic was performed during the Mithraic banquets. In fact there was no other meeting point for ‘Persian’ culture and religion in Roman empire but Mithraic dinners.
