- The earliest substantial body of evidence for arbitration comes from the Greek language, with the best evidence coming from Athens. Derek Roebuck presents a general history of the procedures and legal aspects of arbitration, attitudes, enforcement and appeals against decisions in the period 700BC to 30BC. Based on primary sources he includes literary references, documentary evidence, inscriptions and papyri including excerpts from speeches, plays, histories and from the works of philosophers, all in translation.
