Translation
Didymus says "perhaps certain other things are liable before the payment. For there are those who say that the fifth parts of the valuations are being paid. So if not five days notice, as Demosthenes [illustrates], [then] for five days; for in the major trials one day was not sufficient for the verdict".1
Greek original · Adler’s text
Πρόπεμπτα· Δίδυμός φησι μήποτε ἄλλα τινά εἰσιν ἐπιτίμια τὰ πρὸ τῆς καταβολῆς. εἰσὶ γὰρ οἳ τὰ πέμπτα τῶν τιμημάτων παρακαταβάλλεσθαι φασίν. εἰ μὴ ἄρα πρόπεμπτα, ὡς Δημοσθένης, πρὸς ἡμέρας εʹ· ταῖς γὰρ μεγάλαις δίκαις οὐκ ἤρκει μία ἡμέρα πρὸς τὴν κρίσιν.
