grbs-4821	Hansen, Mogens Herman	How Often Did the Athenian Ekklesia Meet? A Reply	1987	16	.pdf	application/pdf	8537	418	72	If ekklesia synkletos denotes an urgent meeting (as opposed to ordinary meetings called at several days' notice) it follows that the extremely infrequent ekklesiai held on festival days must have been ekklesiai synkletoi, and we have to accept 36 Quoted and discussed in the addendum AE 81. Furthermore, if we follow Harris in assuming that meetings summoned on festival days were probably ordinary meetings but that meetings held on festival days were extremely rare and were held only because the Athenians could not postpone the meeting until the festival was over, we will have to admit that both ordinary ekklesiai and ekklesiai synkletoi could be held as emergency meetings, and Harris's sharp distinction between the two types of meeting tends to break down anyway. 31 Cf AE 78 nos.	cache/grbs-4821.pdf	txt/grbs-4821.txt
