Notes

  1. According to Adler, this entry also occurs (though without 'justice' in the headword phrase) in the unpublished Lexicon codicis Barocciani 50.109-110.
    Probably from commentary on Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics 1134b8-9, where the phrase to\ ... di/kaion ... patriko/n(sic) occurs. (The form patrwiko/n is otherwise unattested.)
