All the Athenian citizens were publicly registered three several times. 1. In their _infancy_, on the _second day_ of the festival ἀπατούρια, called ἀνάῤῥυσις. 2. When they were _18 years of age_, they were registered on the _third day_ of the ἀπατούρια, called κουρεῶτις, when they received the title of ἔφηβοι. 3. At _20 years of age_, they were registered for the last time at the feast called βενδίδεια on the 19th of the month, Thargelion, when they were said to be admitted “_among the men_.” These ceremonies were used to prevent the intrusion of persons, who had no claim to the title of Athenian citizen, which was an honour, that even foreign kings thought worthy of their pursuit. Having quitted the class of the ἔφηβοι, Pamphilus, at the time mentioned by Simo, must have been 20 years of age. NOTE 67. _The schools of the Philosophers._ Several schools of Philosophy were established at Athens, in which philosophers of different sects presided, and gave instructions to those of Athens, and of other countries, whose fortunes allowed them leisure to pursue studies of this nature. The buildings in which the philosophers delivered their lectures were provided at the public expense: they were called _Gymnasia_, and built in divisions, some for study called στοαὶ, and others for various exercises, as wrestling, pugilism, dancing, &c.; these were denominated παλαίστρα. The principal _Gymnasia_ in Athens were the Lyceum, where Aristotle taught; the academy, in which Plato presided; and, lastly, the Cynosarges, which gave the name of Cynics to that sect of philosophers, founded in this place by Antisthenes. (_vid. Plutarch’s Life of Themistocles_). NOTE 68. _In these times flattery makes friends; truth, foes._
