Translation
The law [sc. of classical Athens] allows the closest family of those who did not leave wills to to put in a claim for their inheritances, as much as some son or grandson of the deceased may lay claim to possess. These things are said to be 'unclaimed'.

Ἀνεπίδικα· τῶν μὴ θεμένων διαθήκας ἐπιδικάζεσθαι τοῖς κλήροις ὁ νόμος συγχωρεῖ τοὺς ἐγγυτάτω γένους, ὅσα ὡς υἱός τις ἢ ὑιδοῦς τοῦ τετελευτηκότος ἀξιοῖ κατέχειν. ταῦτα ἀνεπίδικα λέγεται.
