Headword:
*kuameu=sai
Adler number: kappa,2575
Translated headword: to bean
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] to cast a vote with a bean, which the [sc. Athenian] councillors used to use.
Greek Original:*kuameu=sai: kua/mw| yhfoforh=sai, w(=| e)xrw=nto oi( bouleutai/.
Notes:
Likewise in
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon and in
Photius. However, the only attested voting-methods actually used by the Athenian
bouleutai were ballots (i.e. pebbles) and, in a special procedure, leaves (see
epsilon 721,
epsilon 722); so there is presumably confusion here with the role of beans in their appointment (see
delta 837,
phi 756).
For beans and jurors see
kappa 2577,
kappa 2578.
