*dikaiou/menos: kolazo/menos. di/khs tugxa/nwn.

Notes (1)

Same entry in Photius, Lexicon delta605 Theodoridis; Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon has the lemma and the first gloss; and cf. Hesychius delta1800 (= Pollux 8.25). The lemma converts to the masculine nominative singular a present passive participle which appears in Plato, Laws 934B, in the accusative (those who see an offender being judged/sentenced will hate injustice). For this verb, dikaio/w, cf. delta 1078, delta 1079.
1For the sense of encountering or meeting in tugxa/nw and the related noun tu/xh cf. tau 1147 (cf. tau 435), tau 1234 note.
