"Agora:Image:2009.09.0059::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0059.jpg::378::500","A comprehensive, three-part study of the sites and procedures of Athenian lawcourts in the 5th, 4th, and 3rd centuries B.C. Part I discusses various courts, their names and possible sites, and reconstructs their history and daily workings, synthesizing literary, documentary, and physical evidence. Part II discusses the buildings which could have served as courts and the objects found in them. Such court paraphernalia included ballots, receptacles for documents, water clocks (used to time speeches), allotments machines and their accessories (for assigning jurors to the courts), seating tokens, and a curse tablet. Part III collects 355 testimonia on Athenian lawcourts, with Greek text, translation, and commentary.","1995","","","","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Publication","Agora","Agora XXVIII","","The Lawcourts at Athens Sites: Buildings, Equipment, Procedure, and Testimonia","Boegehold, A.

"Agora:Image:2009.09.0045::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0045.jpg::382::500","The three types of inscription from the Athenian Agora presented in this volume are all concerned with important civic matters. Part I, by Gerald V. Lalonde, includes all the horoi found in the excavations; most of them had been brought into the area for reuse at a later period. An introductory essay discusses the various purposes the horoi served, whether as markers of actual boundaries or private records of security for debt. The various types are illustrated in photographs. In Part II Merle K. Langdon publishes all the known records of the Athenian poletai, a board of magistrates charged with letting contracts for public works, leasing the state-owned silver mines and the privilege of collecting taxes, and leasing or selling confiscated property. The catalogue is preceded by an account of the nature of these transactions and the history of the poletai. Part III, by Michael B. Walbank, presents the records of leases for public and sacred lands, which once stood in the Agora; the documents are now in both the Agora and the Epigraphical Museums in Athens. The discussion considers the history and the terms of the leases. The three sections are followed by combined concordances and indices, with photographs of all stones not previously published.","1991","","","","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Publication","Agora","Agora XIX","","Inscriptions: Horoi, Poletai Records, Leases of Public Lands","Lalonde, G.V.","Agora:Publication:Agora 19"
