Translation: Whenever those prosecuting [sc. in Athenian lawsuits] take their oath, [swearing] that they are prosecuting truthfully, this [is called the] diwmosi/a; but whenever those being prosecuted swear the same oath, in their effort to clear themselves of the charges, this [is called the] a)ntwmosi/a [literally: oath in reply].[1]
*diippasi/a and a)nippasi/a [are terms meaning] a race/contest for horses; just like, of course, diwmosi/a and a)ntwmosi/a both denote the same thing.[2]

Notes:
LSJ entries for the two headwords at web addresses 1 & 2.
[1] =
Photius,
Lexicon delta638; cf.
Synagoge (Codex B) alpha1511,
Hesychius delta2049; see also
delta 1234. Before a trial in classical
Athens, the oath at the
anakrisis (preliminary examination) was called
diwmosi/a for the plaintiff and
a)ntwmosi/a for the defendant; cf.
Demosthenes 23.69 (web address 3). The plural is frequent: see e.g. Antiphon 5.88,
Lysias 10.11 (web address 4).
[2] This second part of the entry =
Photius,
Lexicon delta584 and is repeated from
delta 1043; cf.
alpha 2758, and esp.
alpha 2475 on the
a)nqippasi/a (sic:
Xenophon and epigraphy).
*diippasi/a is unattested outside lexicography, but see e.g. the redaction of the
Etymologicum Magnum of ms. Laurentianus Divi Marci 304, where it is related to
panippasi/a (sic; corrupted from
a)nippasi/a).
