Headword: *pina/kia
Adler number: pi,1610
Translated headword: plates
Vetting Status: high
Translation:

Those employed instead of lots by those being allotted. These seem to be bronze, as Demosthenes indicates in the [speech] On the Name.[1] In the Philippics, when the orator says "a tiny, tiny little plate, Athenians"[2], he is perhaps speaking of a little plate on which the charges against those being impeached are recorded.
