A kleroterion (Ancient Greek: κληρωτήριον) was a randomization device used by the Athenian polis during the period of democracy to select citizens to the boule, to most state offices, to the nomothetai, and to court juries. The kleroterion was a slab of stone incised with rows of slots and with an attached tube. Citizens' tokens—pinakia—were placed in the slots and the tube was filled with different-colored dice. The dice were released one by one, each die corresponding to a row of pinakia. The color of each die determined whether the owners of the pinakia in the corresponding row were selected for seats on the boule or juries.
王璞:文學發燒友

「文學發燒友」這個詞語,我是到香港後才知道的;而見識到純正的文學發燒友長甚麼樣,我是在寫出那篇徐訏小說研究才知道。
一九八九年底我初到香港,身無分文,舉目無友,不過很快在報社找到工作,還結識了一班新朋友,大家初次見面就一見如故,有談也談不完的話,這話題就是文學。文學這話題一時一夕如何談得完呢?所以要約定時間下次...
