Translation
Dinarchus in the information[-speech] Against Polyeuktos after his expulsion from the council [sc. uses the word].1 Perhaps the orator is calling Polyeuktos chosen[-again] because he prosecuted some men maliciously and then took bribes to help the selfsame men; alternatively because he was convicted of malicious prosecution and fined and because of this was prevented from speaking before he had paid the fine he owed, but then paid the fine and spoke again. They used to call such people chosen again; but also [sc. called this were] those voted out of some office and later [re-]elected. But Pindar in his Dithyrambs applied the term to buildings demolished and rebuilt.2
Greek original · Adler’s text
Παλιναίρετος· Δείναρχος ἐν τῇ κατὰ Πολυεύκτου ἐκφυλλοφορηθέντος ἐνδείξει. μήποτε δὲ αἱρετὸν λέγει ὁ ῥήτωρ τὸν Πολύευκτον, ἐπειδήπερ συκοφαντῶν τινας, ἔπειτα λαμβάνων δῶρα, τούτοις αὐτοῖς ἐβοήθει· ἢ ὅτι συκοφάντης ἁλοὺς ἐζημιοῦτο καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐκωλύετο λέγειν πρὶν ἀποτῖσαι τὴν ζημίαν, ἣν ὤφειλεν, ἔπειτα ἀποτίσας τὴν ζημίαν πάλιν ἔλεγεν. ἐκάλουν δὲ τοὺς τοιούτους παλιναιρέτους· ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς ἀποχειροτονηθέντας ἀρχήν τινα ἄρχειν καὶ πάλιν χειροτονηθέντας. Πίνδαρος δὲ ἐν Διθυράμβοις ἐπὶ τῶν καθαιρεθέντων οἰκοδομημάτων καὶ ἀνοικοδομηθέντων ἐχρήσατο τῇ λέξει.
