Adler number: epsilon,470
Translated headword: principal assembly
Vetting Status: high
Translation: The
ekklesia [assembly][1] in which they used to confirm [make
kyrios] the decrees, is called
kyria. There are regular
ekklesiai, those that are called
kyriai, three per month at
Athens, on the first and 10th and 13th days.[2] There are also specially-summoned assemblies[3] called for pressing business. So the
ekklesiai that are regular and whose subject matter is well-defined are called
kyriai, and those that are summoned for urgent business are
synkletoi.

From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 19, where the headword phrase occurs (in the genitive case).

[2] Sc. of each month. The author seems to be suggesting that there were three
ekklesiai kyriai a month. According to
Ath.Pol. 43.4 there was only one, but some ancient commentators reported the number as three. See
Rhodes (1981) 521.
[3] The translation follows not the transmitted
proskletois, in the dative case, but the (correct) nominative plural of the scholiast.
