Headword: Exomosasthai
Adler number: epsilon,1797
Translated headword: to deny on oath
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Those who promised to bear witness for certain people in a lawcourt, if afterwards they might not wish to bear witness against them, used to swear that they knew nothing. And this is 'to deny on oath'.
Greek Original:
Exomosasthai: hoi marturêsein tisin en dikastêriôi hupischnoumenoi, ei meta tauta mê boulointo katamarturein, ômnuon mêden epistasthai. kai touto estin exomosasthai.
Notes:
Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword is aorist infinitive of e)co/mnumi. If it is quoted from somewhere (rather than used paradigmatically), likely sources are Demosthenes 19.124 and Lycurgus, Against Leocrates 20.
cf. epsilon 1792, epsilon 1798, epsilon 1840, epsilon 1841.
