Those [sc. in classical Athens] litigating about lands or houses, against their possessors, used to bring a property suit as their second case; the first was enoikiou in the case of houses, karpou for lands; and a third [option], additionally, was ejectment.[1] And it was permitted to the defendants to control their possessions even if they lost the suit karpou or enoikiou and the second suit, the property suit, as well; but if they were convicted of ejectment they were no longer permitted control but had to surrender their possessions to their opponents.
