Amnestia

（ἀμνηστία). A word used to describe the arrangement by which offences were forgotten. The word is chiefly found used of real or alleged breaches of the laws committed during the conflicts of opposing factions in the Greek republics. A notable amnesty was that arranged at Athens by the mediation of the Spartan king Pausanias, by which the overthrow of the Thirty was brought about, in B.C. 403. See Grote, chap. lxv.; and Adeia.
