Headword: *)epi/dikos
Adler number: epsilon,2300
Translated headword: epidikos
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
and epikleros and epiproikos and epikleritis. An epikleros is the woman left orphaned as regards the entire estate, with no brother. Both she herself and the epikleritis [are in that situation], whereas an epiproikos is the woman [left orphaned] as regards a certain part of the estate; she has a dowry because she has brothers. An epidikos is the epikleros for whom the appropriate bridegroom is a matter of dispute. But Isaeus in the [speech] Against Lysibios called the epikleros an epikleritis.

Notes:
Abbreviated from Harpokration s.v.
The Greek word e)pi/klhros is conventionally (and loosely) translated "heiress"; but as there are no obvious English equivalents for the rest of the terminology covered here it is best left transliterated.
