Translation

[Meaning] the rulers of the Jews. "You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people and you shall not revile the gods."1 Since God is truly the judge, but men were also entrusted with judgment, those who judge justly were called gods.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Θεούς· τοὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἄρχοντας. ἄρχοντα τοῦ λαοῦ σου οὐκ ἐρεῖς κακῶς καὶ θεοὺς οὐ κακολογήσεις. ἐπειδὴ ὁ θεὸς ἀληθῶς κριτής ἐστιν, ἐνεχειρίσθησαν δὲ καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι κρίνειν, προσηγορεύθησαν θεοὶ οἱ ἐνδίκως δικάζοντες.
