vote, one from each tribe, to command the cavalry, as the
Taxiarchs do
the infantry. There is also a Hipparch for Lemnos, elected by open
vote, who has charge of the cavalry in Lemnos. There is also a
treasurer of the Paralus, and another of the Ammonias, similarly
elected.

Part 62

Of the magistrates elected by lot, in former times some including
the nine Archons, were elected out of the tribe as a whole, while
others, namely those who are now elected in the Theseum, were
apportioned among the demes; but since the demes used to sell the
elections, these magistrates too are now elected from the
whole tribe,
except the members of the Council and the guards of the
dockyards, who
are still left to the demes.
Pay is received for the following services. First the
members of the
Assembly receive a drachma for the ordinary meetings, and nine obols
for the 'sovereign' meeting. Then the jurors at the
law-courts receive
three obols; and the members of the Council five obols. They
Prytanes receive an allowance of an obol for their maintenance. The
nine Archons receive four obols apiece for maintenance, and also
keep a herald and a flute-player; and the Archon for Salamis
receives a drachma a day. The Commissioners for Games dine in the
Prytaneum during the month of Hecatombaeon in which the Panathenaic
festival takes place, from the fourteenth day onwards. The
Amphictyonic deputies to Delos receive a drachma a day from the
exchequer of Delos. Also all magistrates sent to Samos, Scyros,
Lemnos, or Imbros receive an allowance for their maintenance. The
military offices may be held any number of times, but none of the
others more than once, except the membership of the Council,
which may
be held twice.

Part 63

The juries for the law-courts are chosen by lot by the
nine Archons,
each for their own tribe, and by the clerk to the
Thesmothetae for the
tenth. There are ten entrances into the courts, one for each tribe;
twenty rooms in which the lots are drawn, two for each tribe; a
hundred chests, ten for each tribe; other chests, in which are
placed the tickets of the jurors on whom the lot falls; and
two vases.
Further, staves, equal in number to the jurors required, are
placed by
the side of each entrance; and counters are put into one vase, equal
in number to the staves. These are inscribed with letters of the
alphabet beginning with the eleventh (lambda), equal in number to
the courts which require to be filled. All persons above thirty
years of age are qualified to serve as jurors, provided they are not
debtors to the state and have not lost their civil rights. If any
unqualified person serves as juror, an information is laid against
him, and he is brought before the court; and, if he is convicted,
the jurors assess the punishment or fine which they consider him to
deserve. If he is condemned to a money fine, he must be imprisoned
until he has paid up both the original debt, on account of which the
information was laid against him, and also the fine which
the court as
