Halimous is a deme of [the Athenian tribe] Leontis. Agasikles is said to have bribed the Halimousians[1] and because of this, although a foreigner, was registered in the citizen body[2].
Halimousios: Halimous dêmos esti tês Leontidos. legetai ho Agasiklês tois Halimousiois sundikasai kai dia touto xenos ôn engraphênai têi politeiai.
[1] The transmitted text uses the verb
sundika/zein (join in judging), but it should be emended, both here and in
alpha 169 (and Harpokration s.v.
Agasikles), to
sundeka/zein, literally to bribe en masse (for which, as LSJ note,
sundika/zein is a common error).
[2] This occurred at some time between 336 and 324 BC, and led to Agasikles being impeached. See generally M.H.Hansen,
Eisangelia (Odense 1975) no.115; D.Whitehead,
The Demes of Attica (Princeton 1986) 293,294.
