Book Description
Excerpt from On Two Greek Inscriptions, From Kamiros and Ialysos, in Rhodes, Respectively, Vol. 11 So far as we can gather from this inscription, the waiver had some analogy with the Attic demes, the introduction of which is attributed to Kleisthenes, and which were districts or parishes which had a common temple or place of assembly within their territory, and in which all the citizens resident in the district were registered. These local demes in Attica must be distinguished from the more ancient gentes or groups of families united by a common band of kinsmanship and common rites, though in some instances these gentes may have been absorbed into demes.
