Translation
A sort of vessel, into which were placed the documents relating to the lawsuits. Demosthenes mentions this vessel, and so do Aristotle and Aristophanes.1 There was also a polis [called Echinos], which Demosthenes mentions in the fifth Philippic.2 [And an echinos] is a particular sort of terrestrial creature, and a marine oyster.3
