Headword: Diômosia
Adler number: delta,1234
Translated headword: oath-taking
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the oaths made by litigants [sc. in Athenian courts] -- one swearing that he did suffer what he is complaining of, the other solemnly affirming that "I did not do it".
Greek Original:
Diômosia: horkoi hoi hupo tôn dikazomenôn gignomenoi, tou men omnuntos, hoti pathôn enkalei, tou de ara, hoti ouk epoiêsa.
Notes:
From Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon, which is significantly different from Harpokration s.v.
The terminology here is inexact. The di-omosia (diwmosi/a) formed part of homicide proceedings; its all-purpose counterpart in other kinds of trial was the ant-omosia (a)ntwmosi/a; alpha 2758, alpha 2759, alpha 2760).
See also delta 1235.
