In P Tor I. Iiii. 21 (B.C. 117) δικαιώματα means apparently ";arguments of counsel";—παραγινωσκομένων αὐτοῖς ἐξ ὧν παρέκειντο δικαιωμάτων ὧν ἑκάτερος ᾑρεῖτο : so.23 andv. 25 ἐπελθὼν δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου δικαιώματα. Similarly in OGIS 13.14 (early iii/B.C.) when the people of Priene proved their immemorial possession of certain territory ἔκ τε τῶν ἱστοριῶν κ [αὶ ἐκ τῶν ἄλ ]λων μαρτυριῶν καὶ δικαιωμάτων [με ]τὰ τῶν ἑξετῶν [σπονδῶν, the meaning ";awards"; would seem to be possible, but ";arguments"; suits μαρτυριῶν better. Bishop Hicks’s notes (Historical Inscrr..1 p. 260) w ll show the stages in this centuries-old dispute. P Lille I. 29.25 (from a code—iii/B.C.) prescribes examination of slaves by torture ἐὰμ μὴ ἐκ τῶν τεθέντων δικαιωμάτων δύνωνται κρίνειν, ";si les pièces du procès ne leur permettent pas de juger"; (Ed.). Cf. P Petr II. 38 (c ).52 (iii/B.C.) (= III. p. 55), where a man is sent to Alexandria ἔχοντα καὶ τὰ πρὸ [ς ] τὴν κατάστασιν δικαιώματα, ";having with him the papers justifying his case,"; the pièces iustificatives as the editors describe them. The same phrase occurs in Preisigke 3925.5 (B.C. 149—8 or 137—6). There is also P Petr III. 21 (g ).43 (iii/B.C.) ὃ καὶ παρέδοτο ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμ [ασι, which follows ἅμα τε γραπτὸν λόγον [καὶ δικαιώ ]ματα θεμένης with the same meaning. In BGU I. 113.10 (A.D. 143) ἃ δὲ παρέθεντο δικαιώμ (ατα) the word = ";credentials"; : so ib. 265.17 (A.D. 148), and IV. 1033.7, .19 (Trajan). Cf. the combination here with that in P Tor 1 above (ad init.). In P Lond 360.8 (? ii/A.D.) (= II. p. 216) a certain Stotoëtis surrenders to his sisters his ";claim"; on a slave-girl belonging to their mother—οὗ ἔχει δικαιώματος τῆς ὑπ [αρχ ]ούσης τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῶν παιδίσκης δούλης. Similarly P Oxy VIII. 1119.15 (A.D. 254) τῶν ἐξαιρέτων τῆς ἡμετέρας πατρίδος δικαιωμάτων, ";the exceptional rights claimed by our native city"; (Ed.). MGr δικαίωμα = ";justice.";
