Headword: Kuria ekklêsias
Adler number: kappa,2760
Translated headword: master assembly, chief assembly-meeting
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The prytaneis used to bring together the council and the people: the council every day, unless that day was a holiday; the people four times in each prytany. At the master assembly it was necessary to vote out of office any officials who did not seem to be doing a good job, and to discuss the security of the territory; and those wanting to intitiate an impeachment used to do so on this day.
Greek Original:
Kuria ekklêsias: hoi prutaneis sunêgon tên boulên kai ton dêmon, ê tên boulên hosêmerai, plên ean tis aphesimos êi: ton de dêmon tetrakis tês prutaneias hekastês. en de têi kuriai ekklêsiai edei tas archas apocheirotonein, hoi edokoun mê kalôs archein, kai peri tês phulakês de tês chôras: kai tês eisangelias en tautêi têi hêmerai hoi boulomenoi epoiounto.
