Abstract
Abstract The so-called ‘Knidian arbitration’ between the heirs of the banker Pausimachus and the city-State of Kalymnos has been the subject of much debate amongst historians and archaeologists. However, it seems to have escaped the attention of arbitration practictioners, despite the fact that it constitutes, in essence, a commercial proto-arbitration against a State. The present contribution aims at correcting this omission. The award is a treasure trove of information about the conduct of ancient arbitrations. While arbitrations have become increasingly sophisticated procedures, this ancient award also helps identify essential aspects of the arbitral process that transcend time. To do so, this contribution provides both an overview and commentary of the award as well as a translation of the surviving fragments.
