Translation:
It is a kind of private lawsuit [sc. in classical Athens] which could be brought as the result of [suffering] blows. Its punishment was not defined in the laws; rather, the plaintiff specified in writing what punishment he thought the crime deserved, and the jurors adjudicated [sc. between that and the proposal of the defendant].
Greek Original:
