[Meaning] seizures. Demosthenes in the [speech] On the [trierarchic] crown [sc. uses the word].[1] [sc. And in another speech he writes:] "where Athenians have no right of reprisal".[2] In what follows, as if in explanation, he says this: "we have been the victims of reprisals by Phaselites, just as if reprisal-rights had been given to Phaselites against Athenians. For when they are unwilling to return what they took, what other name could one give to such behaviour as theirs, snatching what belongs to others?". They used to say reprisals instead of seizures.
