Translation

[Used] with a dative. "Piteous voices from all meeting them and resounding."¹ But [sc. also used] with an accusative: "you² must think of me standing here holding the laws and the oath which you have sworn, which are demanding and entreating each of you [to vote]."³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀντιβολῶ· δοτικῇ. φωναὶ δὲ παρὰ πάντων οἰκτραὶ ἀντιβολοῦσαι καὶ ἀντηχοῦσαι αὐτοῖς. αἰτιατικῇ δέ· ἡμεῖς δὲ τοὺς νόμους ἔχοντά με πλησίον ἡγεῖσθε παρεστάναι καὶ τὸν ὅρκον ὃν ὀμωμόκατε, τούτους ἀξιοῦντας καὶ ἀντιβολοῦντας ἕκαστον ὑμῶν.
