[Deposing/disposing] and to depose: each of these applies to the writing of depositions.[1] Isaeus in the Response to Aristogeiton: "Yet after this reponse they brought another deposition, which they said Archepolis deposed in Lemnos."[2] Also Lysias in the Response to Timonides: "how could we disregard the deposing of the deceased, which he deposed neither in an impaired mental state nor under the influence of a woman."[3] They also used to use each of these [terms] in reference to transacting business. And in Isocrates 'to be disposed' is applied to experiencing, as he says in the Encomium of Helen: "from this as well one might realize how far it differs from these things: from the way we ourselves are disposed toward each of the fine things."[4] But Antiphon uses 'disposing' in reference to an opinion or thought.[5] The same [author uses it] also in the sense of 'disposing a speech', that is, in the sense of declaring something.[6] In Book 2 of Truth the same [author] uses it also in the sense of 'arrangement'.[7]
