The Malice of Accusers
They shout out. But just as wicked informers and accusers, having distorted the field, perform the contest of accusation, it is necessary to include all the lawful combatants without fail in a love of truth, but not toward deceit, some being silenced and others being torn away.
Greek
ἐκφωνοῦσιν. Ἀλλὰ ὥσπερ δεινοὶ συκοφάνται καὶ κατήγοροι ἀκρωτηριάσαντες τὸ χωρίον, τὸν ἀγῶνα τῆς κατηγορίας ποιοῦνται. 56 ∆εῖ δὲ φιλαλήθως τοὺς ἐννόμους ἀγωνιστὰς πάντα συμπεριλαβόντας ἀπαραλείπτως, ἀλλὰ μὴ πρὸς ἀπάτην μέρος μὲν ἀποσιωπᾶν, μέρος δὲ ἀποσπῶντας
