Notes on the current edition

Against Athenogenes

1. Disfranchisement could only follow upon condemnation if the plaintiff failed to obtain one-fifth of the votes and so became liable to pay ἐπωβελία,i.e., compensation to Athenogenes at the rate of one-sixth of the sum in question. On failure to pay this he would become liable to prosecution again ( δίκη ἐξούλης) and if condemned would have to pay a fine to the state too. Finally as a state debtor he would be liable to loss of civic rights ( ἀτιμία). The payment of ἐπωβελία certainly obtained in mercantile, and some other cases, and probably in cases of damage also.
