ALOG´IOU DIKE´
ALOG´IOU DIKE´ (
ἀλογίου δίκη), an action which might be brought before the
logistae (
λογισταὶ) at Athens, against all persons who neglected to pass
their accounts when their term of office expired. The punishment was
atimia. Though the action was a public one, the
grammarians agree in calling it
δίκη, not
λραφή: and this is preferred by
Westermann ap. Pauly, ed. 2. (Suidas; Hesych.;
Etym. M. s.
v.; Pollux, 8.54;
Lex. Rhet. p. 664, ed. Pors.)
