    It is right to put our devotion in the past in the scale against our present sin, if after all it has been a sin: P. δίκαιον ἡμῶν τῆς νῦν ἁμαρτίας, εἰ ἄρα ἡμάρτηται, ἀντιθεῖναι τὴν τότε προθυμίαν (Thuc. 3, 56).
    When you throw money into one side of the scale it at once carries with it and weighs down the judgment to its own side: P. ὅταν ἐπὶ θάτερα ὥσπερ εἰς τρυτάνην ἀργύριον προσενέγκῃς οἴχεται φέρον καὶ καθείλκυκε τὸν λογισμὸν ἐφʼ αὑτό (Dem. 60).

    You throw in a weight too small to turn the scale in favour of your friends: V. σμικρὸν τὸ σὸν σήκωμα προστίθης φίλοις (Eur., Her. 690).
