unlike; dissimilar

Meaning

Dike brings unlike things together through truth and equality at LXII.5. The neuter plural ἀνόμοια names dissimilar things, not lawless people. The distinction from ἄνομος is essential: the goddess’s reconciliation of difference is not a reconciliation with wrongdoing. The apparatus’s ἀνομοῖα is an accentual report at this locus.
