Translation
Each deme in Athens had an official called a demarch. These men used to make the inventories of the estates belonging to each deme.1 They were also the custodians of the deme registers [lexiarchika grammateia].2 Furthermore they would assemble the demes[men] whenever required and give them a vote; and it was they too who used to seize the property of debtors.3
