Vetting Status: high
Translation: Those assigned to jury-service [sc. in classical
Athens] used to take from the public attendants a token and a staff, and this is how they acted as jurors. The court had the same colour as the staff. The token, however, they would give back after the verdict and collect the three-obol; this was the pay for jurors.
