Dionysius: Huic testes sedi p(er)duc si uis t(ibi) credi .
Man 1: Judex iust(us) si marca(m) soluat hic eris
Man 2: Eris pond(us) ego q(uo)d petit iste nego
This conversation is part of a miniature in the Vie de Saint Denis (BnF, ms. fr. 2090, fol. 35v).
I have translated the second and third line thus:
Man 1: You will be a just judge if you solve this reprisal
Man 2: You will be an authority, but that which he requests I deny.
But Dionysius' speech eludes me. Any help will be much appreciated!
