Iliad
Book 18, Line 502 by Samuel Butler (English)
but the heralds kept them back, and the elders sat on their seats of stone in a solemn circle, holding the staves which the heralds had put into their hands. Then they rose and each in his turn gave judgment [ dikê ], and there were two measures of gold laid down, to be given to him whose judgment [ dikê ] should be deemed the fairest.
