Horrorstruck at this appalling outrage, which seemed to pass in enormity every thing that had gone before, the Athenians caused their market-place to be consecrated, lest they should share with their guilty allies the vengeance of the offended Nemesis.

This gloomy series of events was termed the Skytalism, or Cudgelling, from the instrument (as we are told) by which these multiplied executions were consummated; though the name seems more to indicate an impetuous popular insurrection than deliberate executions...
