Headword: *parakatabolh/
Adler number: pi,352
Translated headword: court-deposit, parakatabole
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning a] deposit of a tenth part of the value.[1]
The lender has said to Strepsiades: "and know this, that I will put down prytaneia, or may I no longer live!" Meaning I will lodge an indictment against you; for they lodged the indictments of lawsuits in the Prytaneion.[2] Strepsiades says: "you will be throwing them away in addition to the twelve." You will also lose, he is saying, the expenses for the indictment, by doing these things in vain, since my son will vanquish you by speaking the more unjust argument. That is, the tenth of the value of the lawsuit, which is called synonymously a court-deposit.

Notes:
See also pi 353.
[1] = Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon 998b; Synagoge; Photius, Lexicon pi237 Theodoridis. The rest of the entry consists of quotations from Aristophanes, Clouds 1254-56, with comments -- on which see next note -- from the scholia there. (The present headword does not appear in the Aristophanes passages but does in the scholia.)
[2] Despite the verbal jingle, the scholiast here is wrong to connect prytaneia (pi 2997, pi 2998) with the Prytaneion (pi 2999).
