To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus, according to an inscription, an association at Cnidos 104 THE COMMUNISTIC CLUBS included one freeman, three foreigners who served as slaves, and a native slave. Even women were admitted to full membership. The associations regulated their own affairs with complete independence. The meeting of members, or synod, was the supreme tribunal for all matters pertaining to the association. It determined the forms of the reward or punishment of the members, regu- lated the conditions for their adm...ission and exclusion, and its power was unlimited. At the head of the community was the archithiasos or archeranist, though he had merely to carry out the resolutions of the body, and could do nothing of his own initiative in cases that were not regulated. Anyone, even the women, had the right to speak at the meetings. A resolution passed by the synod received the name of " decree. " From a fragment of a decree that belonged to the acta (minutes) of an association at Piraeus we learn that the causing of divisions and tumults was a ground for excommunication ; and this synodal decree, renewed in the age of the Antonines, may be taken as typical for other cases.
