- even balance; equilibrium
Meaning
The speaker asks that a good life move in even balances at LXIII.13, after asking Dikaiosyne to crush baseness. The plural gives a continuing condition of balanced life, not simply a single weighing event. Compare ἰσότης, the equality she delights in, while retaining the more visibly balance-like imagery of this noun.
