Inscribed bronze dicast's tickets (jurors' identification tickets). Top row, B 822, PNM 3; bottom row, B 242, B 1060 (allotment machine ball) and B 12. 4th c. B.C.
Fragment of an allotment machine (kleroterion), probably used in the Council House (in the period when there were 12 tribes) for the selection of committees representing all the tribes except that holding the presidency. Bronze tickets similar to 157 would have been inserted in the slots, which are clearly visible in the photograph. On the left side of the stone can be seen the holes for an attachment, a mechanical device that would have made the selection by chance.
