grbs-15693	Hansen, Mogens Herman	The Authenticity of the Law about Nomothesia inserted in Demosthenes Against Timokrates 20–23	2016	37	.pdf	application/pdf	14129	577	67	They must be mistakes made by someone who composed the docu- ment after the Classical period and did not understand Athenian law and legal procedure.15 Third, “documents should conform to the language, style and con- ventions of Classical Athenian inscriptions of the same type … The presence in a document of words or expressions never found in sim- ilar Attic inscriptions, or in any Attic inscription at all, casts serious doubts on the document’s authenticity” (34–35). According to Canevaro the proper parallel is the epicheirotonia about ostracism.82 He emphasises repeatedly that the epicheiro- tonia is a preliminary and general vote about the laws.83 There is no second round in which particular laws can be singled out and exposed to a specific vote of confidence which, if negative, will entail that the law in question will be referred to a session of nomothetai who will decide whether the nomos be vindicated or, alternatively, stricken from the corpus of Athenian laws and replaced with an alternative law.	cache/grbs-15693.pdf	txt/grbs-15693.txt
