Adler number: alpha,345
Translated headword: prosecution for an unregistered mine
Vetting Status: high
Translation: When those who worked the silver mines [sc. in
Athens] wanted to begin a new working, they would notify those the people had put in charge of mines and would register a twenty-fourth part of the new mine as a tax payable to the people. So if someone appeared to be working a mine in secret, anyone who wanted could indict and expose him for not having registered.

Same entry in
