and epikleros and epiproikos and epikleritis. An epikleros is the woman left orphaned as regards the entire estate, with no brother. Both she herself and the epikleritis [are in that situation], whereas an epiproikos is the woman [left orphaned] as regards a certain part of the estate; she has a dowry because she has brothers. An epidikos is the epikleros for whom the appropriate bridegroom is a matter of dispute. But Isaeus in the [speech] Against Lysibios called the epikleros an epikleritis.

Ἐπίδικος καὶ Ἐπίκληρος καὶ Ἐπίπροικος καὶ Ἐπικληρῖτις. ἐπίκληρος μὲν ἡ ἐπὶ παντὶ τῷ κλήρῳ ὀρφανὴ καταλελειμμένη, μὴ ὄντος αὐτῇ ἀδελφοῦ. ἡ δὲ αὐτὴ καὶ ἐπικληρῖτις, ἐπίπροικος δὲ ἡ ἐπὶ μέρει τινὶ τοῦ κλήρου, ἥ τε προῖκα ἔχειν ἀδελφοὺς ἔχουσα. ἐπίδικος δὲ ἡ ἀμφισβητουμένη ἐπίκληρος, τίνι χρὴ αὐτὴν γαμηθῆναι. Ἰσαῖος δὲ τὴν ἐπίκληρον ἐν τῷ πρὸς Λυσίβιον ἐπικληρέτιν ἐκάλεσεν.
