Translation: "Those outside [i.e. pagans] say: 'let the claim depend on a verdict, but let the verdict test the arguments, let the test define what is necessary, let the definition be written down, let the writings be validated, let what has been validated be guaranteed by actions, and let all the strife be done with, and let friendship hold sway again.' And the verdicts must not be reached thoughtlessly."[1]

[1] George the Monk,
Chronicon 2.511.3-9 de Boor, again at
beta 139 and (abridged)
kappa 2444. The TLG shows that George is quoting Isidore of Pelusium
Epistle 1490 (to
Ausonius), although he attributes the quotation to pagan wise men (
oi( tw=n e)/cw sofoi/).

a)mfisbhtei=n can take both the dative and the genitive.
