Senses: examples: text: If - as is commonly believed - they were not revised until 307/6, a significant discrepancy between population and bouleutic quota must have developed in the course of two centuries during which Athens experienced dramatic expansions and contractions of its population.
ref: 2006, Mogens Herman Hansen, Studies in the Population of Aigina, Athens and Eretria, →ISBN, page 29:
text: The fact that the Ath.Pol. (22.2-3) states that the original bouleutic oath instituted in the archonship of Hermocreon (502/1 BC?) was “still in use” in the fourth century would appear to clash with the new clauses that were added to the oath throughout the fifth century.

ref: 1889, Theodor Mommsen, Clement Bryans, Frederick James Roberts Hendy, The History of the Roman Republic, page 276:
text: It is so easy to think that a boule must involve probouleutic activity. This normally meant that a boule not only considered in advance the subjects to be dealt with in the meetings of the assembly, but actually drew up the bills to be voted on by the assembly.
ref: 1966, Jakob Aall Ottesen Larsen, Representative Government in Greek and Roman History, page 97:
text: That is, to Aristotle the existence of a probouleutic body of some kind required no explanation, though the reason for its actual composition in any given city was a valid historical question.
ref: 1968, California Studies in Classical Antiquity, page 266:

text: This probouleutic (primary discussion) format worked alongside Elizabeth's informal and ad hoc consultations with individuals.
ref: 2004, James Daybell, Women and politics in early modern England, 1450-1700, page 75:
text: Even when probouleutic discussion was opened up to a larger number of individuals - as on 6 October - meetings continued to operate independently of the privy council. Restricting probouleutic debate to a small group of personally selected councillors was particularly appropriate for an issue - Elizabeth's marriage - which she defined as one of the arcana imperii ('mysteries of state') reserved for her own judgement qand on which she had sought to restrict debate in council, parliament and public debate since her accession.
