Headword: *gh= klhrouxikh/
Adler number: gamma,236
Translated headword: allotted land, cleruchic land
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
When the Athenians captured an enemy city and expelled the inhabitants, sending out citizens of their own [sc. instead], they used to distributed the land to them by lot.
Greek Original:
*gh= klhrouxikh/: oi( *)aqhnai=oi lamba/nontes polemi/an po/lin kai\ tou\s e)noikou=ntas e)kba/llontes, poli/tas e(autw=n a)poste/llontes, klh/rw| th\n gh=n au)toi=s die/nemon.
Note:
From a scholion to Aristophanes, Clouds 203, where the phrase "cleruchic [sc. land]" occurs. The key phrase translated here "by lot" can equally mean "in a plot"; the kleros is both process and outcome.
