Book Description
Excerpt from International Arbitration Amongst the Greeks For many years past there has been a pressing need for a fresh treatment of the subject of international arbitration among the ancient Greeks. M. H. E. Meier dealt with it in his essay on Die Privatschiedsrichter... Athens sowie die Austragalgerichte in den griechischen Staaten des Altertums (Halle, 1846), and R. Egger has some remarks on the question in the second edition of his Etudes historiques sur les traites publics chez les Grecs et chez les Remains (Paris, 1866). A new era was marked by the full and careful study of E. Sonne entitled De arbitris externis, guos Graeci adhibuerunt ad lites et intestinas et peregrinas componendas, quaestiones epigraphicae (Gottingen, 1888), which covers the whole field indicated by the title and is not confined to the subject of international arbitration; but Sonne's task was mainly that of collecting, discussing, and classifying the relevant inscriptions and passages from ancient authors, and he has devoted only twelve pages to the discussion of our subject in general.
