Adler number: epsiloniota,220
Translated headword: eisangelia, impeachment

Translation:
[Meaning] denunciation.[1] An eisangelia and a graphe differ. For an eisangelia comes about with reference to crimes which are major and public,[2] but a graphe with reference also/even to minor ones.[3] And properly [there is] a graphe with reference to those writing things which broke the law.[4]
Greek Original:
Eisangelia: dêlatoria. eisangelia de kai graphê diapherei. eisangelia men gar epi tôn megalôn kai dêmosiôn adikêmatôn ginetai, graphê de kai epi mikrôn. kai kuriôs graphê epi tôn ta paranoma graphontôn.
Notes:
See also epsiloniota 221 and especially (for authentic information and quality) epsiloniota 222.
[1] Here a late Greek noun generated from the Latin terms delator and delatio; cf. delta 397, delta 398.
[2] cf. epsiloniota 219.
[3] Not so, at least in classical Athenian law (the implicit subject here), where graphai too concerned alleged offences of public interest (see gamma 439, gamma 440).
[4] i.e. to block illegal decree-proposals; cf. again gamma 439 and gamma 440.
