Translation
Those who promised to bear witness for certain people in a lawcourt, if afterwards they might not wish to bear witness against them, used to swear that they knew nothing. And this is 'to deny on oath'.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἐξομόσασθαι· οἱ μαρτυρήσειν τισὶν ἐν δικαστηρίῳ ὑπισχνούμενοι, εἰ μετὰ ταῦτα μὴ βούλοιντο καταμαρτυρεῖν, ὤμνυον μηδὲν ἐπίστασθαι. καὶ τοῦτό ἐστιν ἐξομόσασθαι.
