Translation
['He adjudicated'] and 'they won the adjudication'. Demosthenes in the [speech] Against Olympiodoros [sc. uses these words]. To say 'he adjudicated' effectively means he1 made an award, whereas 'they won the adjudication' is tantamount to saying they persuaded the jurors to award them the estate.

Ἐπεδίκασε καὶ Ἐπεδικάσατο· Δημοσθένης ἐν τῷ κατ' Ὀλυμπιοδώρου. τὸ μὲν ἐπεδίκασεν οἷον προσέκρινε, τὸ δὲ ἐπεδικάσατο οἷον ἔπεισαν τοὺς δικαστὰς ἑαυτοῖς προσνεῖμαι τὸν κλῆρον.
