Headword: *ba/raqron
Adler number: beta,101
Translated headword: cleft

It is a pit, into which they[1] used to throw down those condemned to death. But in [the] Philippics Demosthenes used the term not technically but figuratively, as if to say "in a hellhole".[2]

See already beta 99, beta 100 (and generally S.C. Todd, The Shape of Athenian Law (Oxford 1993) 141).
[1] The Greek text here includes the words "the deme of (the tribe) Hippothontis", but (as was first noticed in the nineteenth century) they must have slipped in from another entry, now lost.
