[72]
That the man who is convicted of involuntary homicide shall, on certain
appointed days, leave the country by a prescribed route, and remain in exile
until he is reconciled to one of the relatives of the deceased. Then the law
permits him to return, not casually, but in a certain manner; it instructs him
to make sacrifice and to purify himself, and gives other directions for his
conduct. In all these provisions, men of Athens, the law is right.
