HOMOLOGATION, in the civil law, the act of con-
firming or rendering a thing more valid and solemn, by publication, repetition, or recognition thereof. The word comes from the Greek ἡμολογία, consent or assent, formed from ἴσος, similis, like, and λόγος, from λόγειν, dicere, to say; that is, to say the same thing, to consent or agree.
