Headword: *metapoi/nion
Adler number: mu,727
Translated headword: retributive, after-punishing
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"[...] justice, the overseer of the universe, retributive."
Greek Original:
*metapoi/nion: th\n di/khn, th\n e)/foron tw=n o(/lwn, metapoi/nion.
Notes:
The headword adjective is presumably extracted from the quotation.
The quotation itself, consisting of a string of appositional accusative phrases in a dactylo-epitritic meter, must be a fragment of a longer statement, probably from choral poetry -- cf. pi 3092 where the abridged gnomic statement (in the nominative) di/kh metapoi/nios occurs. The source of the quotation is unidentifiable. (Adler attributed it to Aelian, but on no discernible basis.) Apart from these two entries the word is unattested elsewhere.
Keywords: dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; law; meter and music; philosophy; poetry; religion
