Notes (1)
- The headword -- present participle, feminine accusative singular, of the verb↩
dikaio/w -- is presumably extracted from the quotation given: see n.1 below.
cf. generally delta 1077, delta 1078, epsilon 237, epsilon 238.- 1Aelian fr. 49d Domingo-Forasté (46 Hercher). The same sentence is quoted in alpha 297. In this entry the headword is omitted from the text, but it is present in the earlier entry and Adler follows Kuster in inserting it here too.
