antídosis
  47

Greek term meaning exchange, swap, change of fortune. It was one of the procedures to avoid the liturgy in classical Greece, that is, the obligation to pay for some public service with one's own fortune on the part of the wealthiest citizens. If anyone thought another was richer he proposed the change of fortune. If it were not accepted, a court would intervene in the assessment.
