Headword: *dhmo/sios
Adler number: delta,460
Translated headword: public
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
They call the slaves of the city "public."[1]
Kingship [is] a possession of things held in common, but the people's things [are] not kingship's possessions. Therefore the forcible and violent collection of taxes should be hated as tyrannical insolence, but the reasoned and benevolent requests for contributions should be honored as concern for the communal welfare.[2]

Notes:
The unglossed headword (compare delta 459) is masculine nominative singular of this adjective. It is illustrated by both substantive parts of the entry (which contain, respectively, its masculine accusative plural and neuter nominative plural).
