Translation

Ephegesis is a lawsuit [sc. in classical Athens↗] initiated from¹ those harbouring the man forbidden by law to enter the territory, such as an exile or a murderer; alternatively, when someone seems to be in clandestine possession of an item of public property.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐφήγησις· ἐφήγησίς ἐστι δίκη εἰσαγομένη ἀπὸ τοὺς ὑποδεξαμένους τὸν εἰργόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν νόμων ἐπιβαίνειν τῆς χώρας, οἷον φυγάδα ἢ ἀνδροφόνον· ἢ ὅταν τῶν δημοσίων τι κατέχειν δοκῇ τις κρύφα.

Notes

[1] So the manuscripts which Adler followed (and Photius s.v.); but others have not apo but epi, 'against', which besides making better substantive sense is also correct with the accusative case.
