Translation
[Meaning] ordinance/statute, customary practice.1
In Sophocles nomos [is] the nature of what has happened and its habituation.2
Inquiry [is] also nomos. The Apostle [says]: "though wishing to be under the nomos, do they not hear the nomos?".3
[Note] that we would display law [as being] excellent if we defined it as "right reason for the preservation of those who make use [of it]".4

Greek original · Adler’s text
Νόμος· θεσμός, συνήθεια. Νόμος παρὰ Σοφοκλεῖ ἡ φύσις τοῦ γεγεννηκότος καὶ τὸ ἔθος. Νόμος καὶ ἡ ἱστορία. ὁ Ἀπόστολος· ὑπὸ νόμον θέλοντες εἶναι τὸν νόμον οὐκ ἀκούετε. ὅτι τὸν νόμον σπουδαῖον δεικνύοιμεν ἄν, εἰ ὁρισαίμεθα αὐτὸν ὀρθὸν λόγον ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ τῶν χρωμένων.
