Headword: *summori/a
Adler number: sigma,1386
Translated headword: symmory
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Demosthenes [in the first speech] Against Aphobos [uses the word].[1] Not all the populace, as with us, was divided into symmories at Athens, but only the rich and those able to contribute to the city. At any rate Demosthenes in the [speech] On the Symmories says, speaking of the 1200 richest men: "so out of these I consider it necessary to make 20 symmories, as at present, each containing 60 persons".[2] Hyperides in the [speech] Against Polyeuktos says: "there are fifteen men in each symmory".[3] One need not marvel, though, at how Demosthenes says that the symmory holds 60 men while Hyperides [says] 15; for in the [speech] Against Pasikles he gives the explanation, when he writes as follows: "while the very rich, with 5 or 6 others, were defrauding the city by spending sparingly as trierarchs, these men kept quiet; but after Demosthenes saw this and laid down laws that the 300 be trierarchs, and the trierarchies became burdensome...".[4] That naturalized citizens, too, were enlisted in the symmories Hyperides has shown in the [speech] Against Polyeuktos.[5] Symmorites are those sharing membership of the same symmory. Athenians were first divided into symmories in the year when Nausinikos was archon,[6] as Philochorus [records].[7]

From Harpokration s.v., closely followed. For the headword see already sigma 1385.

[4] Hyperides fr. 134 Jensen.
[5] Hyperides fr. 146 Jensen (not the same speech as in n.3 above).
