Greek Text: ἂν δ᾽ ἀρχὴν ἡντινοῦν ἡ πόλις κληροῖ, οἷον βουλῆς, θεσμοθέτου, τῶν ἄλλων, τῷ δῆλος ὁ λαχὼν ἡμῶν ἔσται; πλὴν εἰ σημεῖον, ὥσπερ ἂν ἄλλῳ τινί, τῷ χαλκίῳ προσέσται
English Text: suppose the state is appointing to any office by lot, for example that of Senator,2 that of Thesmothet,3 or any of the rest; how will it be clear which one of us has been appointed?—unless some mark shall be attached to the tablet
