Translation: The prosecution undertaken on behalf of wrongs against individuals, the penalty in which is fixed in the laws.[1]
"Having been a litigant in an unjust lawsuit and having fled in order to avoid being ruined before them, he survived. And [they say that] the resulting lawsuit was unjust."[2]
This is the name[3] for such lawsuits whose timing is rescheduled, either because of some political reason or after the witnesses have been convicted of perjury.
Greek Original:Δίκη: ἡ ὑπὲρ ἰδιωτικῶν ἀδικημάτων συνισταμένη κατηγορία, καὶ ἧς τὸ τίμημα ὥρισται τοῖς νόμοις. ὁ δὲ δίκην ἄδικον δικάσας καὶ διαφυγὼν μὴ ἀπολέσθαι πρότερος τούτων περιῆν. καὶ δίκην γενέσθαι ἄδικον. αἱ τοιαῦται δίκαι οὕτω λέγονται αἱ εἰς ἄκαιρον ἀποκαθιστάμεναι ἤτοι διὰ πολιτικὴν αἰτίαν ἢ τῶν μαρτύρων ἁλόντων ψευδοκατηγόρων.
