Translation

It is a name of a [sc. Athenian] lawsuit, entered into by those who are registered as debtors to the public treasury, when they accuse people of having fraudulently procured witnesses to a summons against them for the trial which gave rise to the debt; so Isaeus says.1

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ψευδοκλησία· ὄνομα δίκης ἐστὶν, ἣν εἰσίασιν οἱ γεγραμμένοι ὀφείλειν τῷ δημοσίῳ, ἐπειδὰν αἰτιῶνταί τινας ψευδῶς κατεσκευάσθαι κλητῆρας καθ' ἑαυτῶν ὡς τὴν δίκην ἀφ' ἧς ὦφλον· ὡς Ἰσαῖός φησι.
