Translation
[When it means] I send a letter, [it is used] with a dative. One should note that 'I write' in its different meanings entails a different syntax too. If it is 'I write to you',1 it means basically I send a letter to you; but if it is 'I write you',2 it means I make a likeness of you -- as in "those writing shapes and letters".3 But if [it is] 'I write you up',4 it means I make written accusations against you, I expose [you] before the courts;5 as in "I am writing you up for murders and illegalities before Rhadamanthys."6
