Translation
[sc. A proverbial phrase] in reference to those who are narrowly convicted in the jurycourts [sc. of classical Athens]. For if the votes are equal, defendants are relieved from trials in which the man against whom the complaint has been brought is acquitted.

Ἴσαι ψῆφοι· ἐπὶ τῶν παρ' ὀλίγον ἐν τοῖς δικαστηρίοις ἁλισκομένων. ἀναλύονται γὰρ οἱ διωκόμενοι ἀπὸ τῶν δικαζομένων, ἂν ἶσαι γένωνται ψῆφοι, ἐν αἷς ἀπολύεται ὁ ἐγκαλούμενος.
