Document Summary
Euboulos cited in athenaeus, deiphnosophistai: you will find everything sold together in the same place at athens figs, summoners, bunches of grapes, pears, apples, witnesses, roses, loquats, haggis, honeycombs, chickpeas, lawsuits allotment machines . Clearly a place where you can find things you need and, it"s a place where justice is run ie. the allotment machines, lawsuits, witnesses etc. There are more places that have been identified as law courts. Square peristyle identified as a law court. The rectangular peribolos called the heliaia: heliaia is an enclosure that doesn"t have a roof so it"s open to the sky, scholars originally thought it was one of the law courts we know about because. North of attica, the amphiareion is located outside of the city, oropos. Almost identical water clock in oropos at the amphiareion as we have at athens. Amphiareos was a hero who became a healing god like asclepius: people were healed by him through incubation.
