Let K/Q be a number field with euclidean ring of integers O. Let Γ be a finite-index torsion-free subgroup of the symplectic group Sp2n(O), and let N be the cohomological dimension of Γ. We exhibit a finite, geometrically-defined spanning set of H (Γ;Z) by generalizing the modular symbol algorithm of Ash and Rudolph for SLn(O).
