Translation

[Used] with a genitive in reference to living things. "You sit and slander your own brother".¹ Also, "they slandered God and said [...]."² But in reference to non-living things, [it is used] with an accusative: "do not slander the neighbouring [place?], but rather honor [it]."³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Καταλαλῶ· γενικῇ ἐπὶ ἐμψύχων. καθήμενος κατὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου κατελάλεις. καὶ, κατελάλησαν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἶπον. ἐπὶ δὲ ἀψύχων αἰτιατικῇ. μὴ καταλάλει τὸν γειτνιῶντα, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον τίμα.
