Mortgage marker stone

Japanese: 抵当標石 - ていとうひょうせき
Mortgage marker stone
A translation of the Greek word horos (plural horoi). In Homeric poetry, the older form of the word ouros is used to mean a boundary marker for public or private property, but in historical times it was a stone pillar erected at the border of mortgaged land or near a house, on which the name of the debtor or creditor and the amount of the debt were usually inscribed. In Athens, before Solon, there were mortgage stones indicating that land had come under the control of a creditor through a loan, but Solon is said to have removed these mortgage stones when he wrote off the debt.

ギリシア語のホロスhoros(複数形ホロイhoroi)の訳。ホメロスの詩ではこの語の古い形であるourosは公有地や私有地の境界標石の意味で使われているが,歴史時代には抵当に入れられた土地の境や家屋のそばに立てられた石柱で,そこには債務者・債権者の名と負債額が刻まれるのが通例であった。アテナイではソロン以前に借財によって土地が債権者の管理下に入ったことを表示する抵当標石が存在したが,ソロンは借財の帳消しによってこの抵当標石を取り去ったと伝えられる。
