Translation
Meaning safeguards from cities or forts or certain other powers adopted with a view to being safe and strong. So Demosthenes [sc. uses the word].1 In Aeschines the word "probole" arose from putting the name of someone forward as a wrongdoer.2
Greek original · Adler’s text
Προβολάς· ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀσφαλείας ἐκ πόλεων ἢ τειχῶν ἢ τινῶν ἄλλων δυνάμεων ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ καὶ κράτει γινομένων. οὕτως Δημοσθένης. παρὰ δὲ Αἰσχίνῃ ἡ προβολὴ τοὔνομα γέγονεν ἀπὸ τοῦ προβάλλεσθαί τινα ἀδικεῖν.
