Note Vogt I, p. 79-80, compared Callimachus 6.120ff., and observed that the kalathos procession described by Callimachus was for women only, as here. H also pointed out that the prayer to Demeter includes words like Eirene and Eueteria = Euthenia, which occur in this year; and Homonoia which may not in fact occur this year (D862: see misread and uncertain coins of year 13).
