IG I³ 10 = ML 31 = OR 120 (ll. 1–25)

Resolved by the council and people; Acamantis was the prytany; […n]asippus was secretary; Neoclides was chairman; Leon proposed: Write up the decree for the Phaselites. Whatever cause of action arises at Athens against any of the Phaselites, the trials are to be held at Athens before the polemarch, as for the Chians, and nowhere else; trials of other cases covered by convention shall be held in accordance with the existing convention with the Phaselites; the — shall be abolished. If any of the other officials accepts a case against any of the Phaselites contrary to this (?), if he condemns the condemnation shall be invalid. If any one contravenes what has been decreed, he shall owe ten thousand drachmas sacred to Athena. This decree shall be written up by the secretary of the council on a stone stele and set down on the acropolis, at the expense of the Phaselites.

Athens-Phaselis treaty — commentary

Two categories of lawsuit are dealt with. Cases arising at Athens (xymbolaion is not limited to cases arising from contracts, as early commentators thought, and Cataldi still thinks) against a Phaselite are to be tried before the polemarch. This treatment must be a privilege: it would be normal for a case arising in Athens to be tried in Athens, and the privilege will be trial in the court of the polemarch, who handled lawsuits for privileged foreigners (Ath. Pol. 58. ii); prestige apart, this perhaps guaranteed that Phaselite defendants would not be subjected to summary procedures…
