Translation

[Used] with a dative. "And [they] blaming the decrees of God."¹ But [sc. also used] with an accusative: "[they] having blamed king Eumenes for many things."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Καταμέμφομαι· δοτικῇ. καὶ τοῖς τοῦ θεοῦ ὅροις καταμεμφόμενοι. αἰτιατικῇ δέ· πολλὰ τὸν βασιλέα Εὐμένη καταμεμψάμενοι.

Betacode

*katame/mfomai: dotikh=|. kai\ toi=s tou= qeou= o(/rois katamemfo/menoi. ai)tiatikh=| de/: polla\ to\n basile/a *eu)me/nh katamemya/menoi.

Notes (1)

[1] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as a phrase from Gregory of Nazianzus, Orations 16 (PG 35.961.7-8); read o)ri/ois "limits" for the Suda's o(/rois "decrees".
2Eumenes, king of the Macedonians, epsilon 3579. This quotation has been attributed to Polybius (as fr. 169, with the name Eumenes as a gloss there). Adler prefers Cassius Dio or Diodorus. (The latter has an instance of the idiom polla\ memya/menoi: 24.12.3.)
