Klopes Diké
or
Klopes Graphé (
κλοπῆς
δίκη or
γραφή). The action for theft at Athens
might be either private or public, and in the former case either before a diaetetes or a
court, probably that of the thesmothetae (Meier,
Att. Process, p. 66, with
Lipsius's note 101). The various modes of procedure are enumerated by Demosthenes (
c.
Androt. p. 601.26, 27).
