Excerpt from Naturalization in Athenian Law and Practice: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Princeton University in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The laws which governed admission to the Athenian citizen-body on the basis Of qualifications of birth have been discussed frequently, but the laws which regulated the admission Of aliens have received only casual treat ment.1 This study was undertaken for the purpose Of further investigating the reasons for which the Athe nians granted citizenship to aliens. Its present form is due to a statement made by Szantoz that the Solonian law which provided for the admission Of exiles and per manent settlers was applied, at least to exiles, in De mosthenes' time.
