Translation
Some [are] bronze, others [made] out of earthenware; into them the [sc. Athenian] arbitrators placed the documents of the witness-statements that people had testified, and then sealed them up, handing them on to the jurors if the arbitration was contested.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἐχῖνοι· οἱ μὲν χαλκοῖ, οἱ δὲ ἐκ κεράμου· εἰς ἃ καθιᾶσιν οἱ διαιτηταὶ τὰ γραμματεῖα τῶν μαρτυριῶν, ἅ τινες ἐμαρτύρησαν, καὶ κατασημηνάμενοι μετὰ ταῦτα, εἰ ἐγκληθείη ἡ δίαιτα, τοῖς δικασταῖς ἐπεδίδουν.
