Translation
It is a name of a [sc. Athenian] lawsuit, entered into by those who are registered as debtors to the public treasury, [if they wish to claim] that the person who listed them on the tablet situated next to the goddess lied, so that they have been unjustly registered as debtors to the public treasury.

Ψευδεγγραφή· ὄνομα δίκης ἐστίν, ἣν εἰσίασιν οἱ γεγραμμένοι ὀφείλειν τῷ δημοσίῳ, ὡς καταψευσαμένου αὐτὸν τοῦ ἐγγράψαντος ἐν τῇ σανίδι τῇ παρὰ τῇ θεῷ κειμένῃ, ὡς ἀδίκως ἐγγραφέντες ὀφείλειν τῷ δημοσίῳ.
