Ψηφίσματα· γνῶμαι ἀρέσκουσαι. ξυνήρεσε δὲ τὰ τοιάδε, εἰ ὁ Ῥωμαίων βασιλεὺς τῷ δόγματι ἐπιψηφίσοιτο. ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀρεσθῇ.

Notes (2)
- 1The headword, a neuter noun (here in the plural), literally -- though rarely in practice -- means collective decisions reached by casting pebbles (psi 85, psi 86) as ballots. The present plural (evidently quoted from somewhere) has the same glossing already in Hesychius. ↩
- 2As Adler notes, Roos hesitantly attributed this quotation to Arrian. In fact it comes, with the addition of
tw=| do/gmati , from Menander Protector (fr.18.3 Blockley). See now Favuzzi [cited under alpha 1990] 61. ↩
