Paragraphe and the Merits (Article)
Title: Paragraphe and the Merits
Author: Edwin Carawan
Abstract: This paper argues against the prevailing view of the ancient Athenian procedure for barring lawsuits, the 'paragraphe'. Based on the earliest testimony (Isocrates 18) we should conclude that this remedy was originally introduced against any suit violating specific covenants of the recent Reconciliation Agreement (403 BC), not to enforce a general amnesty.The trial was then decided by a single ballot (for the plaintiff or for the defendant), not a two-stage procedure as H.J Wolff argued (1966).
