Translation
Meaning an] indictment under oath against someone, concerning [his] alleged wrongdoings. But a diomosia [is] the oath made by both sides who are pleading the case, by one to accuse the one who did [something], and by the other that he did not do [it]. An exomosia [is] a denial with an oath, that he was incapacitated or was discharging a public service at the time.
The an[th]ippasia and diippasia are contests of horses, just as diomosia and antomosia both show the same.1

Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀντωμοσία· γραφὴ κατά τινος ἔνορκος, περὶ ὧν ἠδικῆσθαί φησι. διωμοσία δὲ ὁ ἑκατέρωθεν γινόμενος ὅρκος ὑπὸ τῶν δικαζομένων, τοῦ μὲν ὡς πράξαντα διώκειν, τοῦ δὲ ὡς οὐκ ἔπραξεν. ἐξ- ωμοσία δὲ ἄρνησις σὺν ὅρκῳ, ὡς ἀδυνατοῦντος ἢ παρὰ καιρὸν ὄντος αὐτῷ τοῦ λειτουργεῖν. ἀνιππασία καὶ διιππασία τῶν ἵππων ἅμιλλα, ὥσπερ δὲ διωμοσία καὶ ἀντωμοσία τὸ αὐτὸ ἄμφω δηλοῖ.
