- unbroken
Meaning
Justice is “unbroken in conscience” or inward awareness at LXIII.5, immediately before the assertion that she breaks others. The accusative τὸ συνειδός specifies the respect in which she remains unbroken. The deliberate reversal makes her inward integrity the counterpart of her outward power to punish.
