Adler number: delta,1089
Translated headword: lawsuit, private suit
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the prosecution undertaken on behalf of wrongs against individuals, the penalty in which is fixed in the laws.[1]
"Having been a litigant in an unjust lawsuit and having fled in order to avoid being ruined before them, he survived. And [they say that] the resulting lawsuit was unjust."[2]
This is the name[3] for such lawsuits whose timing is rescheduled, either because of some political reason or after the witnesses have been convicted of perjury.

Notes:
cf. (e.g.) alpha 344, alpha 345, alpha 3456, beta 367, delta 1090, delta 1091, delta 1094, lambda 381, omicron 962, omicron 963.
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica -- but the second element of the definition is too restrictive: only some penalties were fixed; cf. alpha 4364.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable (Adler suggests Aelian.)
[3] i.e. anadikoi, "subject to appeal". This crucial word is omitted here, but see Hesychius s.v.
