INTRODUCTION AND ANALYSIS
381/519

If after hearing this he will still be dishonest, let him listen to the law:--The seller shall not have two prices on the same day, neither must he puff his goods, nor offer to swear about them.

If he break the law, any citizen not less than thirty years of age may smite him.

If he sell adulterated goods, the slave or metic who informs against him shall have the goods; the citizen who brings such a charge, if he prove it, shall offer up the goods in question to the Gods of the agora; or if he fail to prove it, shall be dishonoured.

He who is detected in selling adulterated goods shall be deprived of them, and shall receive a stripe for every drachma of their value.

The wardens of the agora and the guardians of the law shall take experienced persons into counsel, and draw up regulations for the agora.
