Relating to or characteristic of an ephor or the office and functions of ephors in ancient Greek city-states.
From ephor with the suffix -al, indicating relation to or the nature of the ephoral office.
Ephoral power in Sparta created constant tension between the ephors and the two kings, which historians argue actually prevented any single person from gaining absolute power.
Derived from ephor, carries the same male-centered governance structure of ancient Sparta and Greek city-states.
Use 'ephoral' only in historical contexts; specify that these structures excluded women. Modern governance: use 'magisterial' or 'administrative' instead.
