Headword:
Apopsêphisthenta
Adler number: alpha,3658
Translated headword: voted-off, voted-out
Vetting Status: high
Translation: If someone [sc. in classical
Athens] seemed to be a foreigner and not a citizen, the [relevant] demesmen used to vote him out in the registration-votes of the demes, and he was called "voted-out". He would then be taken to the jurycourt and tried for being a foreigner; if convicted he was sold as a foreigner,[1] but if successful [in rebutting the charge] he was admitted into the citizen-body. Thus [says]
Demosthenes: "for which of you does not know Antiphon, the man voted-off?"[2]
See under
diapsephisis ["registration vote"].[3]

Notes:
The headword participle -- aorist passive, masculine accusative singular -- is extracted from the
Demosthenes passage (eventually) quoted.
