Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This short article goes back to the problem of the authenticity of the document found at Dem. 24.20–23, with wide implications for the reconstruc- tion of Athenian nomothesia. Without providing a comprehensive response to M. H. Hansen’s recent KLIO article on the topic (M. H. Hansen, The Inserted Doc- ument at Dem. 24.20–23. Response to Mirko Canevaro, KLIO 101, 2019, 452–472; itself a response to a previous KLIO article by M. Canevaro), it clarifies some key issues and clears up some important misunderstandings, also providing new evi- dence against the authenticity of the document.
