LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

The plaintiffs and defendants are placed the Tritodemos front. According to the law stipulated that in view of the fact that the plaintiff and defendant's not necessarily knew about clause many «Theonia Statute book», the eloquence is not necessarily good, they can hire the attorney to conduct the court to control to debate. But in this case first placed on trial Pollux actually this decided that is defended by oneself, the crime that because he commits has gone far beyond the range that the initial plaintiff( i.e. liberate slaves) accused, the public prosecutor who therefore is assigned by the court filed the charge. But is the public prosecutor was the Davos once clerk Yaris Dockwra bottom. 原告与被告分列特里托德摩斯的前方。按法律规定,鉴于原告、被告对条目繁多的《戴奥利亚法典》不一定了解,口才不一定好,他们是可以聘请律师来进行法庭控辩的。而本案中最先被审判的波吕克西斯却这决定由自己来辩护,由于他所犯的罪行已经远远超过了最初的原告(即解放奴隶)所控告的范围,因此由法院指定的公诉人提起诉讼。而担任公诉人的就是戴弗斯曾经的书记员亚里斯多克拉底。 Yaris Dockwra bottom after obtaining Theonia prepares the citizen, Davos suggested that he goes to the court, but he also smooth through the inspection, starts from the initial court reporter, hard work, while diligently studies the Theonia law. After he becomes the Theonia official citizen, was the low level judge in circuit court, more than one year to sentence „more than 200 cases and disputes do not have careless mistake” the dazzling result to become the nova in Judge Theonia. This trial, Davos calls the roll of officers and assign them tasks to make him take the public prosecutor personally, has the great expectations to him. 亚里斯多克拉底在获得戴奥尼亚预备公民之后,戴弗斯就建议他去法院工作,而他也顺利的通过考核,从最初的法庭记录员开始,一边辛勤工作,一边刻苦学习戴奥尼亚法律。当他成为戴奥尼亚正式公民之后,就担任了巡回法庭的低级法官,一年多来以判“200多案例和纠纷无纰漏”的耀眼成绩成为戴奥尼亚法官中的新星。这一次的审判,戴弗斯亲自点将让其作为公诉人,对他抱有厚望。 Because after Davos was transformed the hearing system of later generation, transplanted Theonia, it from the beginning seemed unusual. 由于戴弗斯将后世的庭审系统经过改造后移植到了戴奥尼亚,它从一开始就显得与众不同。 Must know that this time most well-respected Athens court does not have the special judge, only then the order officer maintains the procedure/program of court, but the power of trial grasps in the jury hand, but the jury does not have the fixed population, but according to the size of case decided the population many, maximum jurors may reach over 2000 people, decides to try the result that by the majority vote system. Therefore Athens is regardless of the case size must have the jury to participate, every day about 3,000-4,000 citizens rush about in the each court of city and harbor back and forth, was jokingly called „Athenians by other city-state is deeply loves the lawsuit Greeks”. 要知道这个时代最受推崇的雅典法庭是没有专门的法官的,只有秩序官维持法庭的程序,而审判的权力掌握在陪审团手中,但陪审团却没有固定的人数,而是根据案件的大小来决定人数的多少,最高的陪审团成员人数可达两千人以上,以多数票制来决定审判的结果。因此雅典是无论案件大小都必须有陪审团参与,每天约有3,000-4,000公民来回奔波于城内和港口的各个法庭,也被其他城邦戏称“雅典人是热爱诉讼的希腊人”。 But in Theonia, such as the murder case and treason case...... wait/etc can have the jury to rule besides the important case, other civil disputes directly conduct the final verdict by the judge generally, even if the defendant proposed that needs the request of jury, still has enormously is possibly rejected. Reasons for this include, the citizens of Theonia alliance are quite busy, the military training, the field practical training, the market trade and public infrastructure construction...... so many idle times have not sat in the court, listening to the original defendant to tell that with matter that oneself have nothing to do with. 但在戴奥尼亚,除了重要的案件如杀人案、叛国案……等等才能有陪审团来进行裁决外,其他的民事纠纷一般由法官直接进行终裁,即使被告提出需要陪审团的要求,也有极大可能被驳回。究其原因,戴奥尼亚联盟的公民们都比较繁忙,军训、田间劳作、市场贸易、公共设施建设……没有那么多的空闲时间坐在法庭里,听原被告讲述与自己无关的事。 But because Athens city-state is extremely rich, takes on the juror to have money compensation, some citizens even take this as to live, therefore the citizen is happy, but toward it. 而雅典因为城邦极其富有,担当陪审员是有金钱补偿的,有的公民甚至以此为生,所以公民乐而往之。 In brief, could not have borne this time-consuming to consume money by the Theonia existing strength and financial resource the Athens type hearing way, moreover does not prepare to implement like this. Because Theonian was worried that makes itself enter the regiment, to take the post of the public service illegally, to obtain city-state reward and other aspects to be affected, the truly big crime is very rare. Therefore like has the large-scale hearing scene of jury, the people are really rare, many people can be said as witnessing the operational method of Theonia hearing for the first time with own eyes. 总之,以戴奥尼亚现有的实力和财力还负担不起这种耗时又耗钱的雅典式庭审方式,而且也不准备这样实行。戴奥尼亚人由于担心违法而使自己在进入军团、担任公职、获得城邦奖励等方面受到影响,真正大的犯罪很少见。因此像这样的有陪审团的大型庭审场面,民众们甚少见到,不少人可以说是第一次亲眼见证戴奥尼亚庭审的运行方式。 Nike square was fully occupied by the people quickly, some outside also people catch up unceasingly...... 胜利广场很快就被民众占满,场外还不断有人赶来…… When the liquid level of water-clock falls to eight points scale divisions, Tritodemos sounded the ding of holding court. 当水钟的液面落至八点的刻度时,特里托德摩斯敲响了开庭的钟声。 Because plaintiff and defendant already on field, therefore is made the statement by the public prosecutor from the beginning. Yaris Dockwra bottom the liberate slaves temple will complain, patrol leader to search and discover according to convention evidence...... after briefing, to the jury demonstrated the evidence that searches, accused the Pollux wrongful possession land, restricts others freedom and other crimes. 由于原告、被告均已在场上,所以一开始由公诉人作陈述。亚里斯多克拉底将解放奴隶神庙告状、巡逻队按例搜查、发现证据……等经过简要说明后,紧接着向陪审团展示所搜索到的证据,控告波吕克西斯非法占有土地、限制他人自由等罪行。 Under the stage the people started to present the tumult. 台下民众就开始出现骚动了。 Tritodemos has to strike a gong, to remind the people on the scene keeps quiet. Then he hinted defendant Pollux to defend. 特里托德摩斯不得不敲钟,以提醒在场民众保持安静。然后他示意被告波吕克西斯可以进行辩护了。 As the expert who mingles among the politics for a long time, Pollux still chinned up and chested out, is maintaining full of energy, because he knows, if displays dispiritedly, will be thought in his aware heart by the people guilty. Initially, although when the formulation of legal hearing system, he has not participated, but he audited Davos to convince the entire process of senior statesmen, therefore he knew in the Theonia large-scale hearing , to be released innocently, the key lay on the jury, therefore he used to be full of the friendly sound saying: „The member of jury, I remembered my father and my grandfather...... to take one of the Thurii city earliest upbuilders at this moment, they and shed the blood oneself complete mental effort hotly in this piece once are on the lands of wilderness, will have today the prosperous city. But I by person of father's generation's influence, since grown, have been made my effort for this city, just like you, cultivates and is in the paddies the soldier, to participate in the fight, to be the low level public officials, to afterward repeatedly by the people election was General Thurii, for this city-state made effort-” 作为一名长期混迹政治的老手,波吕克西斯仍然是昂首挺胸,保持着精神抖擞,因为他知道如果表现出颓废,就会被民众们认为他自觉心中有罪。当初,虽然在法律庭审制度的制定时,他没有参与,但他旁听了戴弗斯说服元老们的全过程,因此他知道在戴奥尼亚的大型庭审中要想无罪获释,关键在于陪审团身上,于是他用饱含热情的声音说道:“各位陪审团的成员,此刻我想起了我的父亲、我的祖父……作为图里伊城最早的建立者之一,他们将自己的全部的心力和热血洒在了这一片曾经是荒野的土地上,才会有今天繁荣的城市。而我自己受父辈的影响,从成年以来,就一直为这座城市做出着自己的努力,和你们一样,在田地里耕作、当过士兵、参加过战斗、担任过低级公职人员,到后来多次被民众推选为图里伊将军,为了这个城邦用尽了心力-” At this time, Yaris Dockwra bottom stood, interrupted his words: „Pollux, as one of the once Thurii generals, you should burning down for Thurii city shoulder the responsibility! When the final city broken, has not led the people to meet the enemy as you of general, but vanishes to disappear, unexpectedly also dares to say oneself paid all for city-state! This at all is not the fact!” Obviously, Yaris Dockwra bottom has investigated the Pollux entire life beforehand carefully. 这时,亚里斯多克拉底站起来,打断他的话:“波吕克西斯,作为曾经的图里伊的将军之一,你应该为图里伊城的焚毁承担责任！并且在最后城破之时,作为将军的你没有率领民众迎敌,而是消失不见了,居然还敢说自己为了城邦付出了一切！这根本不是事实！”显然,亚里斯多克拉底事先仔细调查过波吕克西斯的生平。 His words just said, under the stage some people responded: „He said right! Initially I in meeting head-on the Crotonians team, many people died in battle, including Nianses, but has not seen Pollux from beginning to end your person's shadow!” 他话刚说完,台下就有人响应:“他说的没错！当初我就在迎战克罗托内人的队伍里,不少人战死了,包括涅昂西斯,但是从头到尾都没见过波吕克西斯你的人影！” „Coward!” “胆小鬼！” „Coward!” “懦夫！” ...... …… Under the stage some people start to curse. 台下有人开始大骂。 „Peaceful! Peaceful!” Tritodemos has to sound little bell again, the reminder people keep quiet, simultaneously warned: „Your two do not say that with topic that this defense has nothing to do with, returns to the accused issue.” “安静！安静！”特里托德摩斯不得不再次敲响小钟,提醒民众保持安静,同时告诫道:“你们两位不要说与本次辩护无关的话题,回到被指控的问题上来。” Should say that are not many as a result of various Theonia court large-scale hearing cases, young the judge like Yaris Dockwra bottom experiences to be short, otherwise when Pollux just the opens the mouth, can lodge the protest. 应该说由于戴奥尼亚各法庭大型的庭审案件不多,像亚里斯多克拉底这样年轻的法官经验有所欠缺,否则在波吕克西斯刚开口之际,就可以提出抗议。 However their confrontation from the beginning actually attracted the attention of people. The court like the battlefield, violent debate, relates the life and death, in which risk and intensity is better than to watch a play. The Theonia people start to open the eye, is anticipating their following more splendid debates. 但是他们这一开始的交锋却吸引了民众的注意。法庭如战场,唇枪舌剑,关系生死,其中的风险和激烈程度远胜过看一场戏剧。戴奥尼亚民众们开始睁大眼睛,期待着他们接下来的更加精彩的辩论。 Borwick Heath is quite awkward, selfish he really forgot himself once to work as the matter of military deserter, wants to continue to publicize performing high service through hard work in council, was hopeless. His deep looked at an own opponent, then starts saying: „I as the Theonia council senior statesman, until now regard archon Davos am the example, responded the enlightenment of Hades, therefore ignored own loss, massive gave in the family/home the slaves to be free, until now has released 57 slaves, 6 people became the official citizen, I want besides Sir Davos, which citizen Theonia also to have so to kindly treat the slave like me! No!” Pollux observes the situation the surroundings, an imposing facial expression. 波里克西斯颇为尴尬,自私的他是真的忘了自己曾当过逃兵的事,原本还想继续宣扬一下自己在元老院里的劳苦功高,这下都没戏了。他深深的看了一眼自己的对手,然后开始说道:“我作为戴奥尼亚元老院的元老,一直以来视执政官戴弗斯为榜样,响应哈迪斯的启示,所以才不顾自家的损失,大量的给予家里奴隶们自由,至今为止已经释放了57位奴隶,有六人成为正式公民,我想除了戴弗斯大人,戴奥尼亚还有哪位公民像我一样如此善待奴隶的！没有！”波吕克西斯环视周围,一幅凛然的神情。 „The slaves of liberation, stemming from the gratitude and repayment, must give me some money as the return every year, I decline their great kindness, accepts reluctantly. Because there are more money, I can buy more slaves, gives more slaves by the freedom!......, But I have not thought, will be mistaken as the embezzlement by everyone unexpectedly! This...... this is really to me wholeheartedly wants from the huge blow of enthusiasm Sir Davos learns! This is the misunderstanding!......” He exhibits a suffering appearance toward the jury. “解放的奴隶们,出于感激和报答,每年要给予我一些钱物作为回报,我推辞不过他们的盛情,才勉强收下。因为有了更多的钱,我才能买来更多的奴隶,给予更多的奴隶以自由！……唉,但是我万万没想到,竟然会被大家误认为是贪污！这……这实在是对我一心想向戴弗斯大人学习的热情的一个巨大的打击！这是误会啊！……”他朝着陪审团摆出一副委屈的模样。 Yaris Dockwra bottom coldly said: „The Pollux whether corruption, asking judge Sir to allow me to inquire the witness.” 亚里斯多克拉底冷冷说道:“波吕克西斯是否贪腐,请法官大人允许我询问证人。” The Tritodemos nod agrees. 特里托德摩斯点头表示同意。 Yaris Dockwra bottom altogether called ten witness, all was the Pollux liberate slaves, has, has become prepared the citizen who just released, some are the official citizens. The card humanities that these have the citizenship do not want to appear in court, but was enforced by the court, because this is the duty of alliance citizen. 亚里斯多克拉底一共叫上来十名证人,全是波吕克西斯的解放奴隶,有刚释放的、有已经成为预备公民的、还有的已经是正式公民了。这几个有公民身份的证人本不想出庭,但被法庭强制执行,因为这是联盟公民的义务。 In they take an oath after the Hades god will not lie, Yaris Dockwra bottom 11 to its inquiry issue, are one by one incisive. In this period, Pollux tried to break several times, but encountered scolding of Judge Tritodemos. 在他们向哈迪斯神宣誓不会撒谎之后,亚里斯多克拉底一一向其询问问题,一个比一个尖锐。其间,波吕克西斯几次试图打断,但遭到特里托德摩斯法官的呵斥。 The witness see the Pollux situation is not wonderful, the charge that in the fear load lies again, was condemned „to blaspheme god crime”, therefore 1510 reveal completely. 证人们见波吕克西斯情况不妙,害怕再担上说谎的罪名,被判处“渎神罪”,于是一五一十全部吐露出来。 Now wooden table nearby people have understood what is heard: First, these witness had the land position to be enviable, all was on the Sybaris plain the fertile land. Must know when the alliance was established initially, many people and little land, for does not make the land desolated, many lands let the freeman and liberate slaves farm as a tenant. Arrived afterward, farming as a tenant of Sybaris land started anxiously, apportions the preparation citizens to dislike insufficiently, which can also make the freeman farm as a tenant, the slave who Pollux just released can also farm as a tenant to well, this was very major problem ; 现在木台附近的民众们已经听明白了:首先,这些证人所拥有土地的位置就已经让人羡慕了,全是绪巴里平原上肥沃的土地。要知道联盟初成立时,人多地少,为了不让土地荒芜,有不少土地是让自由民和解放奴隶租种的。到了后来,绪巴里土地的租种开始紧张,分给预备公民都嫌不够,哪还能让自由民租种,波吕克西斯刚释放的奴隶还能租种到好地,这就是非常大的问题了; Next, pays in full the land and other taxes of alliance in these witness, but must give the Pollux land income again 40 ; 其次,在这些证人们交完联盟的租税,还要再交给波吕克西斯土地收入的40; Again, becomes the witness of official citizen also to give the Pollux land income unexpectedly every year the five. Why does the official citizen also give money to him on own initiative? Because Pollux bought over Ministry of Agriculture some people, becomes the person of official citizen assigns „share place” the time to these, when measures the land gets up to tricks, many one -and-a-half mu mu. As a result of their „share place” in the quite remote place, was often not detected easily. Therefore, the citizen who these come from the Pollux family obtained the advantage, feared every year when Ministry of Agriculture spot-check land will be taken back, gives the Pollux advantage on own initiative. 再次,成为正式公民的证人居然还要每年给予波吕克西斯自己土地收入的五。为什么正式公民还主动给他送钱？因为波吕克西斯收买了农务部的一些人,给这些成为正式公民的人分配“份地”的时候,丈量土地时作个手脚,多个一亩半亩的。由于他们的“份地”往往都在比较偏僻的地方,不易被人发觉。因此,这些来自波吕克西斯家族的公民得了好处,又怕每年农务部抽查土地时会被收回,就主动给波吕克西斯好处。 When Yaris Dockwra bottom asked the words, Pollux had felt under the stage the anger of people, he quickly said loudly: „They are lying! Is lying! I have not done these matters, some people are framing me! Feared I vacillate him to Theonia-” 等亚里斯多克拉底问完话,波吕克西斯已经感到了台下民众的怒火,他急忙大声说道:“他们都在撒谎！都在撒谎！我根本就没有做过这些事,是有人在陷害我！怕我动摇他对戴奥尼亚的-”
