Translation

Demosthenes in the [speech] Against Timotheos [says this] to mean took [it] for weighing.¹
Also [sc. attested is] a)posth/sontai ["they will weight out"], the equivalent of saying they will take by weight.²
Also [sc. attested is] a)posth/sasqai, [meaning] to repay a debt.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀποστησάμενον· ἀντὶ τοῦ πρὸς σταθμὸν παραλαβόντα Δημοσθένης ἐν τῷ πρὸς Τιμόθεον. καὶ Ἀποστήσονται, οἷον σταθμῷ λάβωσιν ἴσον. καὶ Ἀποστήσασθαι, ἀποδοῦναι χρέος.
