Translation
[Meaning] to be expelled by proclamation from the clan. But some say [sc. that he who is] 'alienated' differs from [him who is] disinherited, because the disinherited man is thrown out as a punishment, whereas the 'alienated' man is given by his natural father to another household for adoption.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἐκποίητον γενέσθαι· ἀποκηρυχθῆναι τοῦ γένους. οἱ δέ φασι διαφέρειν ἐκποίητον ἀποκηρύκτου, ὅτι ὁ μὲν ἀποκήρυκτος ἐπὶ κολάσει ἐκβάλλεται, ὁ δὲ ἐκποίητος ὑπὸ τοῦ φύσει πατρὸς εἰς ἕτερον οἶκον δίδοται τῇ προθέσει.
