(10) month; and shall render their accounts
for the last year before the month of Metageitnion,[2] from the accounts from the box (kibōtou),

auditor (euthunon) and his deputies in
accordance with the decree inscribed in the agora;
and if . . . and they do not perform the audit in accordance with
(20) this decree . . .
