ε314

Ἐθέμην

I put, I established

[Meaning] I judged, I thought. "And I myself set this opinion." As if [to say], this seemed expedient to me also, that the jurycourts should not sit. Aristophanes [sc. writes this].

Ἐθέμην· ἔκρινα, ἐνόμισα. κἀγὼ ταύτην γνώμην ἐθέμην. οἷον κἀμοὶ τοῦτο δοκεῖ σύμφορον, τὸ μὴ εἶναι δικαστήρια. Ἀριστοφάνης.
