Skambonidai
Skambonidai ( ancient Greek Σκαμβωνίδαι ) was an Attic Asty- Demos (city demos) of the Kleisthenic Phyle Leontis , after 126/127 it was part of the Post-Kleisthenian Phyle Hadrianis .
He was in the north-western part of the city of Athens , and three representatives were sent to the Athenian Bule by him . From Skambonidai there is an inscription of a cult law from approx. 460 BC. From which it can be seen that there was a demarch (head of the demos), whose term of office was subsequently subjected to an examination ( Euthynai ). It also shows that there were already Metöken at this point in time , as well as the existence of a separate agora of the demos. Skambonidai donated the animal sacrifice for the all-Athenian festival Synoikia in honor of Athena and celebrated the festival Epizephyra . It also took part in the Dipolieia and Panathenaia festivals .
