Against Kallikles on Damage to a Plot [writes]: "and then throwing out the slime into the road, the result of which was that he made the road itself higher and narrower".[1] Slime is the word for a whole mass. And it is a sort of pile, particularly that of dross and refuse. Also the alluvial deposit of rivers, and more especially of torrents, which is also called silt. In the present passage the orator seems to be saying that Kallikles threw into the road a pile of soil and garden refuse from the plot; so he himself indicates in what follows.
