[47] For no fine can be inflicted for denunciations made to the archon, even if the informants fail to receive a single vote,¹ and there are no deposits or court fees² paid in any impeachments; but while the prosecutors may bring an impeachment without running any risk, extreme penalties are inflicted on those who are convicted in such impeachments.
