Translation
[Meaning] the [oath] of the opposing litigant. But [it is called] a hypomosia when, for instance, someone alleges that he was sick or some such thing. A parastasis is [the fee] given to the clerk through whom the charge has been recorded, so that it may be entered amongst the charges in writing. Each party deposits prytaneia with the treasurer, so that the case may be brought in.

Ἀντωμοσία· ἡ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου. ὑπωμοσία δὲ, οἷον ὅταν τις σκήπτηται κάμνειν ἤ τι τοιοῦτον. παράστασις δὲ ἡ διδομένη τῷ γράμματι δι' οὗ τὸ ἔγκλημα γέγραπται, ὅπως ἐγγραφῇ εἰς τὰ ἐγκλήματα. πρυτανεῖα δὲ τῷ ταμίᾳ καταβάλλει ἕκαστος, ὅπως εἰσαχθῇ ἡ δίκη.

Notes
- See already alpha 2758, alpha 2759, and again pi 448. The present entry's material is paralleled in the scholia to Plato, Apology 19B, where the headword occurs; similarly too in other lexica.
