Headword:
Anaumachiou
Adler number: alpha,2115
Translated headword: for anaumachion, for non-naval-fighting
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Just as there were penalties prescribed in the laws for not going on an expedition[1] and for leaving one's post [
ta/cis] [2] and for throwing away one's arms,[3] so also for fighting at sea. This was called the fine for
anaumachion ['non-naval-fighting'], as in
Andocides.[4] Thus it is necessary that both they and their descendants be without rights [
a)/timos].[5]
Greek Original:Anaumachiou: hôs tou mê strateuesthai kai tou leipein tên taxin kai tou ta hopla apobalein zêmiai êsan hôrismenai ek tôn nomôn, houtô kai tou naumachêsai. touto to ophlêma anaumachiou ekaleito, hôs Andokidês. houtô de dei kai autous kai tous ex autôn atimous einai.
Notes:
The headword is in the genitive case, as it is in the phrase
o)flhma a)naumaxi/ou ('fine for non-naval-fighting'). See also
nu 64.
For the passage as a whole, cf.
Lexica Segueriana 217.21 (which, however, reads "so also for *not* fighting at sea"). MacDowell (1962) p.111 and others have suggested that
anaumachion describes the offense of a trierarch's withholding his ship from action. MacDowell further suggests that the offense may be the naval equivalent of
astrateia, that is, that it may refer to a sailor's failure to join the navy when obliged. A further possibility (which I discuss in Hamel, 403-5) is that
anaumachion is rather the naval analogue of
lipotaxion, referring to a sailor's failure to board his ship prior to an engagement.
[1] The offense of
astrateia.
[2] The offense of
lipotaxion.
[3] The offense of
rhipsaspia.

Andocides (1.74 [Web address 1]) writes of those who are "found guilty of
anaumachion":
a)naumaxi/ou o)/floien. The appearance there of the verb
o)/floien may explain the Suda's odd construction
to\ o)/flhma a)naumaxi/ou. For the offense see also
Pollux 8.40, 42-43.
[5] For a discussion of
Andocides' treatment of
atimia at 1.73-79 (Web address 1) see Hansen (1976) pp. 82-90.
