It appears to me that Nikias was here asking the prytanis to do an illegal act, which might well expose him to accusation and punishment.
Both in this case, and in the Mitylenæan debate, I think the Athenian prytanis committed an illegality.
The Prytanis coming into the theatre to announce this news, while the ambassador was absolutely in the middle of his speech, the Rhodians could scarcely make up their minds to believe a report which involved such monstrous treachery.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "prytanis" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
