Translation
Whenever one of the [sc. Athenian] politicians was accused of having taken bribes, the complaint against him used to have two descriptions, both "bribe-taking" [dwrodoki/a ]1 and "public prosecution for bribery."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Δωρογραφή· ὅταν τις αἰτίαν ἔχοι τῶν πολιτευομένων δῶρα λαβεῖν, τὸ ἔγκλημα τὸ κατ' αὐτοῦ διχῆ ἐλέγετο, δωροδοκία τε καὶ δώρων γραφή.
