· Summary ·

This glossary consists of excerpts from S.C. Todd, “Glossary,” in P.A. Cartledge et al., Nomos: Essays Athenian law, politics and society (Cambridge, 1990), selected by Michael de Brauw (University of Texas at Austin). Todd’s complete glossary (with some changes) also appears in The Shape of Athenian Law (Oxford, 1993). This excerpted selection was first published electronically as part of the online discussion series “Athenian Law in its Democratic Context,” organized by Adriaan Lanni and sponsored by Harvard University’s Center for Hellenic Studies.
