Translation
[Abandonment] and [sc. also attested is] 'he/she/it abandoned': each of these is applied to the diapsephiseis1 which take place in the [sc. Athenian] demes concerning those being entered on the deme register. All those who are challenged as being non-citizens face the charges, and the demesmen vote on them; anyone who does not turn up to be judged has 'abandoned' the decision on him. And this is called 'abandonment'.2
The eclipse of the sun when it is being obscured by the moon appears to take place distinctly. See underdiafane/s .3
