Endeixis
(
ἔνδειξις). A term in Athenian jurisprudence, denoting a
prosecution in notorious cases—as, for instance, against the Prytanes, if they
refused to put a question to the vote in the great assembly. It was especially employed
against persons who, although lying under
atimia, presumed to claim a
share in civic rights, as (particularly) by instituting prosecutions, or appearing, speaking, and voting in the assembly. See
Apagogé.
