ὅσα τις εἶχεν - ταῦτα ἔχειν: A comparative legal study of the proclamation of the Athenian archon (eponymos): According to Athenaion Politeia 56, 2, one of the first official acts of the archon (eponymos) was his proclamation that „whatever any one possessed before he entered into office, that he shall possess and hold (ἔχειν καὶ κρατεῖν) until the end of his term“. By comparing the wording of this kerygma with that of the uti possidetis-clause used in international treaties of the 5th/4th century BC, but also the wording of the Roman interdictum uti possidetis, it is this study’s intention to shown that the kerygma can be interpreted as the archon’s proclamation of protection of possession.
