[Meaning] litigants taking days for recompense and not paying it.1
Those convicted in some sort of lawsuit and not handing over the fines to the plaintiffs within the statutory time-limits used to be called defaulters, and what they were doing, default (u(perhmeri/a).2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὑπερήμεροι· οἱ ἐν ταῖς καταδίκαις πρὸς ἔκτισιν ἡμέρας λαβόντες καὶ μὴ διαλυσάμενοι. οἱ δίκην ὀφείλοντες ὁποιανοῦν καὶ τὰ ἐπιτίμια τοῖς ἑλοῦσι μὴ ἀποδιδόντες ἐν ταῖς τακταῖς προθεσμίαις ὑπερήμεροι ἐκαλοῦντο, τὸ δὲ πρᾶγμα ὑπερημερία.
