Vetting Status: high
Translation: Aeschines in the [speech]
Against Ktesiphon [writes]: "having drawn neither first place nor that of deputy, but having schemed to buy the position".[1] This is the sort of thing being spoken of. Those eager to be councillors or officials used to draw lots. Then for each of the drawers another would draw, so that, if the first drawer was rejected in the scrutiny or died, the deputy became councillor or official in his place.[2]
