Those who play games with pebbles are [called] yhfolo/goi . At any rate those who mislead and deceive are juggler-like, just as the jugglers rob [people], deceiving the eyes by the swift moving of the pebbles.1

Ψηφολόγοι· ψηφολόγοι εἰσὶν οἱ ψηφοπαῖκται. ψηφολογικοὶ γοῦν οἱ πλανῶντες καὶ ἀπατῶντες, ὥσπερ οἱ ψηφολόγοι τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τῷ τάχει τῆς μεταθέσεως τῶν ψήφων ἀπατῶντες συναρπάζουσι.
