sponding to the powμoría in an ordinary suit. In the case of the γραφὴ παρανόμων this was called ὑπωμοσία, a word commonly meaning an affidavit on which to ground an application for the postponement of a trial. The propriety of the name consists in the effect produced by the commencement of the γραφὴ παραvóμwv, by which all further action in respect of the contemplated measure was suspended till the suit should be decided. And in many cases the result was the practical overthrow of a proposal, its mover not caring to proceed further in the face of the threatened action. In such a case he was said ἐᾶν τὸν νόμον ἐν ὑπωμοσίᾳ. If he determined to contest the point, he met the ὑπωμοσία by an ἀνθυπωμοσία, an affidavit that he meant to defend the action, and then it proceeded in due course to trial in the Heliastic court. If the prosecution was successful, the case being an ayшv тμηтós, he and the defendant respectively named what each considered an adequate penalty, and the court imposed whichever of the two it thought the more suitable. If the action failed, the measure assailed could be proceeded with from the exact point which it had reached when the inwμoría was sworn against it; but if it were already vóuos, the prosecutor seems, from the speech against Leptines, to have been bound to propose an alternative measure in its place. If the prosecutor failed to obtain one-fifth part of the votes, he was subject to a fine of a thousand drachmae, and incapable of exercising civic rights (aruos) till this was paid. In the case of the law of Leptines we find advocates appointed by the State (σúvdro) to undertake its defence, of whom Leptines himself was proably one; but this would be because his measure was already w, and as such, under the protection of the State till sufficnt cause was shown against it.
