A particular vessel, into which the jurors used to cast their votes, bore this name. Phrynichus in Muses [writes]: "look, take the pebble; here is your voting-urn, this one to acquit, that one to convict".1

Καδίσκος· ἀγγεῖόν τι, εἰς ὃ ἐψηφοφόρουν οἱ δικασταί, οὕτως ἐκαλεῖτο. Φρύνιχος Μούσαις· ἰδού, δέχου τὴν ψῆφον· ὁ καδίσκος δέ σοι, ὁ μὲν ἀπολύων οὗτος, ὁ δ' ἀπολλὺς ὁδί.
