Translation

It is a type of [sc. Athenian] lawsuit brought against those not taking a resident to be their patron.¹ For each of them used to refuse² one of the citizens to act for him in all private and public matters.
See under a)postasi/ou.³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀπροστασίου· εἶδός ἐστι δίκης κατὰ τῶν μὴ νεμόντων προστατεῖν ἔνοικον. καὶ γὰρ ἕκαστος αὐτῶν ἠρνεῖτό τινα τῶν πολιτῶν τὸν προστησόμενον αὐτῷ περὶ πάντων τῶν ἰδίων καὶ τῶν κοινῶν. ζήτει ἐν τῷ ἀποστασίου.

Notes (2)

[1] The source for this, the equivalent entry in Harpokration (citing Hyperides fr. 15 Jensen), has undergone some unhelpful changes here -- notably the elimination of any mention of metics (who are the "them" of the next sentence). See also next note.
2"Used to refuse" (h)rnei=to) is an error for "used to choose" (h|(rei=to). ↩
