In the same way I propose, men of Athens, that all ships' gear now on loan
should be valued and divided according to the inventory into twenty parts, and
then that one part of the debtors liable for it should be allotted to each of
the full boards, and that each board should assign an equal share to each of its
own groups; and that the twelve members of the group should exact the same from
the debtors, and so provide, fully equipped, as many galleys as they are
severally responsible for.
