From
Timaeus,
Platonic Lexicon, which is significantly different from Harpokration s.v.
The terminology here is inexact. The
di-omosia (
diwmosi/a) formed part of homicide proceedings; its all-purpose counterpart in other kinds of trial was the
ant-omosia (
a)ntwmosi/a;
alpha 2758,
alpha 2759,
alpha 2760).
