Agraphiou Graphé

（ἀγραφίου γραφή). The names of all persons at Athens who owed any sum of money to the state were registered by the practores (πράκτορες) upon tablets kept for that purpose in the Temple of Athené on the Acropolis; and hence the expression of being registered on the Acropolis always means indebted to the state. If the name of an individual was improperly erased, he was subject to the action for non-registration (ἀγραφίου γραφή), which was under the jurisdiction of the thesmothetae; but if an individual was not registered, he could only be proceeded against by ἔνδειξις (q. v.), and was not liable to the ἀγραφίου γραφή.
