Deed — 2 authors face each other below

trial and death of Socrates

kind: trial · 399 BCE — the editor’s frame · 3 mentions across 3 episodes of the record — counted by the house’s first pass receipt — the deed shelf, first pass receipt — the witness index

The prosecution by Meletus, Anytus and Lycon, the condemnation, and the hemlock. Plato's dialogues are not on the served shelf; the house's witnesses are the biographical tradition and its echoes.

Where the accounts part — the record’s own argument; the witnesses below carry the receipts

Diogenes Laertius compiles the trial from documents and rival authorities — down to citing the preserved affidavit; Plutarch's Greece remembers it as the city's sin, twinned with Phocion's cup a lifetime later. The record convicts Athens twice.

The regnal line — the editor’s table of years, never the record’s voice
