Headword:
Apographê
Adler number: alpha,3273
Translated headword: deposition
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Whenever someone says that someone is in possession of some item of city property, the defendant makes a deposition, showing how much he has of it and how he came by it. Perhaps also the
apographe is a kind of lawsuit. For if someone were to deny possessing such property, he was tried by
apographe, on the basis that the [sc. original] deposition was improperly made. So [says]
Demosthenes in the [speech]
Against Androtion.[1]
Also [sc. attested is]
apographe, [meaning] census.
"Caesar Augustus, the one who established the principate, chose 20 men, unsurpassed in how they had lived and behaved, and sent them out to the entire territory of his subjects; through them he conducted censuses of both people and property, fixing a certain portion of this as sufficient for a levy to the public treasury. This was the first census [of its kind?] - those before him not depriving the propertied class of anything, and so making it a grounds for public reproach against the affluent.[2]
