Those who have been victorious in a lawsuit [sc. in classical Athens] and thus permitted to recover a plot of land or a house but are then prevented from entering into possession -- and having not entered into possession are evicted -- bring a lawsuit against those doing the evicting or not allowing entry into possession. And this is called a dike exoules. It has its name from [the verb] exellein. For the ancients used to call prevention and eviction exellein.[1]
