[1] (The sense of this phrase is that the person in question was saved by the plural addressees -- probably jurors -- from
a)timi/a, exile, or capital punishment in various court proceedings.) This is ostensibly a precious fragment of classical Athenian oratory, and is duly registered as Kephalos [
kappa 1452] fr.1 Sauppe; however, a TLG search reveals it to come from the 15th declamation of
Libanius, a rhetorical head-to-head between K and Antiphon (
alpha 2745).
