[Meaning] liable to punishment; that is, subject to a penalty, as if paying reparation for things one has done wrong. And the punishment for a murder which has been broken[?] is called poinh/.[1]
"Saturninus the consul attempted a tyranny. So the Romans made a promise to him more necessary than true, and recalling him they sentenced him to death, judging that the oaths were not punishable which they had made with one who deserved public vengeance."[2]
Greek Original:
Empoinimos: empoinios, toutestin enochos poinêi, hoion eph' hois hêmarte dous timôrian. kai poinê legetai hê epi phonôi klasthenti kolasis. hoti Satorninos ho hupatos turannidi epetheto. hoi toinun Rhômaioi anankaian autôi pistin hupischnountai mallon êper alêthesteran kai katagagontes edikaiôsan thanatôi, horkous ouk empoinimous hêgêsamenoi einai, housper pros ton koinon alastora epoiêsanto.
Notes:
For this adjective see already epsilon 1054.
[1] Similarly glossed in other lexica, e.g. PhotiusLexicon epsilon760, where the Suda's klasqe/nti is drasqe/nti, “for a murder which has been committed” (and cf. the Suda ed.pr., with praxqe/nti, identical in meaning to Photius).
[2] Mai attributed this quotation (quoted already in part at epsilon 239) to Cassius Dio; Gaisford, to Eunapius; and latterly Favuzzi [see under alpha 1596] 208-209 on vocabulary-based grounds to Aelian. In any event this 'Saturninus' is not the Antonius Saturninus of alpha 2762 and beta 433 but presumably the Republican tribune (103-99 BCE) and agitator L. Appuleius Saturninus. Though never consul, he did surrender under a promise of official safety (fides publica) before being murdered by a mob.
