*)epi/klhros
Adler number: epsilon,2385
Translated headword: epikleros, heiress
Vetting Status: high
Translation: The Athenians had a law [or: custom] that when there was a legitimate daughter and a
nothos son,[1] the
nothos did not inherit the family property. Alternatively [the term
epikleros means] she who has no other brothers as fellow
kleros-inheritors, but is the sole
kleros-inheritor. Since it was not possible for
nothoi to inherit the
kleros, they gave [him] control of the money. It was Attic law [or: custom] to bequeath [money] to
nothoi up to the sum of 5 minas.
Agathias [writes]: "women were walking up and down the battlements: some of them mothers of the dead, some heiresses, some with a connection of another kind".[2]
