Translation

Polybius [writes]: "whenever it is possible to receive the due from those who commit an offence either in accordance with the laws or in accordance with other established jurisdictions".¹ Meaning praiseworthy starting-points.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Δικαιοδοσία. Πολύβιος· ὅταν ᾖ τὸ δίκαιον ἐκλαβεῖν παρὰ τῶν ἀδικησάντων ἢ κατὰ νόμους ἢ κατά τινας ἄλλας ὑποκειμένας δικαιοδοσίας. ἀντὶ τοῦ εὐλόγους ἀφορμάς.

Notes (2)

cf. generally delta 1066. The present headword occurs frequently in Polybius, both in the general meaning of "jurisdiction" and in the one of "trial" (cf. 4.16.4, ei)s dikaiodosi/an prokalei=sqai). See LSJ at web address 1.
1The quotation is fr. 31 Büttner-Wobst (book uncertain), also at epsilon 455. ↩
2For this gloss cf. delta 1081.
