Headword: *lh=cin di/khs
Adler number: lambda,464
Translated headword: allocation of a lawsuit
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
['Allocation of a lawsuit'] and 'to be allocated a lawsuit': [this is what] they say for announcing a judgment of private matters;[1] but inviting [sc. to trial] in response [is] antilacheîn,[2] and distributing money [is] dialacheîn.[3]
Greek Original:
*lh=cin di/khs: kai\ *laxei=n di/khn, to\ kataggei=lai kri/sin i)diwtikw=n pragma/twn fasi/: to\ d' a)ntikale/sai a)ntilaxei=n, to\ de\ dianei/masqai xrh/mata dialaxei=n.
Notes:
The twin headword phrases here are lacking (Adler reports) in ms A, as if to suggest that this material is a continuation of lambda 463. But Photius too has this as a discrete entry: lambda278 Theodoridis.
The entry as a whole begins in the area of classical Athenian law, before becoming more general (see n.3 below).
[1] The first headword phrase is glossed in LSJ s.v. lh=cis II as "written complaint lodged with the Archon, as the first step in private actions". The phrase appears here in the accusative, but there is no classical instance of that. (The phrase occurs in the accusative plural in Aeschines 1.63).
[2] LSJ s.v. a)ntilagxa/nw: "move for a rehearing of a suit, when the case had gone by default; enter an exceptive plea; bringing a counteraction". This is the same legal sense of lagxa/nw as above, with a)nti/ corresponding to "counter-".
[3] LSJ s.v. dialagxa/nw: "divide or part by lot; obtain by lot". This refers to the more generic sense of lagxa/nw, "be alloted".
