Translation
Each of these is a term applied [sc. in classical Athens] to those prosecuting in a different way. But if the dispute comes before an arbitrator, it is called dikazesthai ["going to law"].1
Also [sc. attested is the participle]a)pa/gontes ["they arresting"]; [used] with an accusative. [Meaning they] driving away, removing. "Arresting the man".2
Also [sc. attested is the participle]
