Translation
Aristotle in the Constitution [of the Athenians] says: "both the archon and the polemarch also take assistants, two each, whomsoever they want; and these men are scrutinized in the lawcourt before beginning their work and are called to account when they have finished it."1 The word is common not only in the orators but also in comedy.2
Greek original · Adler’s text
Πάρεδρος· Ἀριστοτέλης ἐν τῇ πολιτείᾳ φησί· λαμβάνουσι δὲ καὶ παρέδρους ὅ τε ἀρχὼν καὶ ὁ πολέμαρχος, δύο ἑκάτερος, οὓς ἂν βούληται. καὶ οὗτοι δοκιμάζονται ἐν τῷ δικαστηρίῳ πρὶν παρεδρεύειν, καὶ εὐθύνας διδόασιν, ἐπὰν παρεδρεύωσιν. ἔστι δὲ ἡ λέξις συνήθης οὐ τοῖς ῥήτορσι μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῖς κωμικοῖς.
