ΚΡΙΤΙΑΣ
Plato, Critias, Page 120d: The kings' laws and the god's pretext
Critias finishes the account of how the ten kings of Atlantis ruled: they deliberated as before, and no king could put a kinsman to death without the vote of more than half of the ten. Then the story turns, and the god brings this great power against Athens.
