diomosia · A special oath taken in cases of homicide: in all other cases the litigants alone swore the antimosia (lit. “oath [of two people] against each other”); in homicide cases all the witnesses had to join in the oath of their principals, which was for this reason known as the diomosia (lit. “oath between [more than two people]”).
Greek: διωμοσία.
