  Fig 13.jpg - Figure 13. The oldest surviving Greek law on stone, from the temple of Apollo Delphinius at Dreros, 650–600 BCE. It reads: ‘The city has thus decided; when a man has been a kosmos, the same man shall not be a kosmos again for ten years. If he does act as a kosmos, whatever judgements he gives, he shall owe double, and he shall lose his rights to office, as long as he lives, and whatever he does as kosmos shall be nothing. The swearers shall be the kosmos and the damioi and the twenty of the city’
