[141] τὸ μέντοι πανούργημα φθάνει καὶ πρὸς ἀσέβειαν· οὐ γὰρ ἀνωμότοις δικάζειν ἔθος, ἀλλὰ μετὰ
φρικωδεστάτων ὅρκων, οὓς παραβαίνουσι πρὸ τῶν ἀπατωμένων οἱ φενακίζοντες, ἐπειδὴ τῶν μὲν τὸ σφάλμα οὐ κατὰ γνώμην, οἱ δ’ ἐπιστήμῃ καταστρατηγοῦσι καὶ ἐκ προνοίας ἁμαρτάνοντες καὶ τοὺς κυρίους τῆς ψήφου συνεξαμαρτάνειν ἀναπείθοντες οὐκ εἰδότας ὃ δρῶσιν ἐπὶ τιμωρίᾳ ¹² τῶν οὐδεμιᾶς ἀξίων κολάσεως. p. 204 M. διὰ μὲν δὴ ταῦτά μοι δοκεῖ ψευδομαρτυριαν ἀπειπεῖν.

[141] Moreover, this kind of crafty wickedness outstrips all other offences in its impiety; for it is not customary for judges to decide without being sworn, but rather after having taken the most fearful oaths, which those men transgress who deceive others, more than they do who are deceived by them, since the error of the one is not intentional, but the others do deliberately plot against them, and do of malice aforethought sin, persuading those in whose power it is to give the decisive vote to err, not knowing what they do, so that things which deserve no chastisement meet with punishment and loss.
