Πωληταὶ καὶ Πωλητήριοι· οἱ μὲν Πωληταὶ ἀρχή τίς ἐστιν Ἀθήνησι, δέκα τὸν ἀριθμὸν ἄνδρες, εἷς ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς ἑκάστης. δοκοῦσι δὲ τὰ πιπρασκόμενα ὑπὸ τῆς πόλεως πάντα, τὰ τέλη καὶ μέταλλα καὶ μισθώσεις καὶ τὰ δημευόμενα. Πωλητηρὸν δὲ καλεῖται ὁ τόπος, ἔνθα συνεδρεύουσιν οἱ Πωληταί.

Notes (2)
- Abbreviated from Harpokration s.v., commenting on the mention of these terms (the second of which should be neuter
pwlhth/rion ) in Hyperides fr. 18 Jensen, and also citing the Aristotelian Athenaion Politeia (47.2) and Isaeus fr. 50 Sauppe.
See also pi 2159, pi 2161. - 1The transmitted text has
dokou=si , "They seem", but this is a corruption ofdioikou=si ; see Harpok. ↩ - 2Both here and in the headword-phrase itself the word
pwlhth/rion is slightly corrupt; I have ignored this in translation. ↩
