Translation

It seems that something like this happens at Athens when, after prior deliberation by the council, its opinion is conveyed to the people: first there is a vote in the assembly as to whether the people should look into the matters that have been pre-deliberated or whether the the preliminary statement [sc. by the council] is adequate.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Προχειροτονία· ἔοικεν Ἀθήνησι τοιοῦτόν τι γίγνεσθαι. ὁπόταν τῆς βουλῆς βουλευσάσης εἰσφέρηται εἰς τὸν δῆμον ἡ γνώμη, πρότερον γίνεται χειροτονία ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ, πότερον δοκεῖ περὶ τῶν προβουλευθέντων σκέψασθαι τὸν δῆμον ἢ ἀρκεῖ τὸ προβούλευμα.
