Headword:
*)/ekdeia
Adler number: epsilon,390
Translated headword: arrears
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] the residue of what has been indebted. For 'arrears' is the part to pay, of what someone owes, even if not all of it; but 'deficit' [is] not paying it at all. Or 'arrears' is having something but not paying it, 'deficit' not having it at all -- such that the former is voluntary, the latter involuntary.[1]
'Arrears' is a voluntary deprivation of money, 'deficit' an involuntary one.[2]

Notes:
The two words differentiated here are more alike in the Greek --
e)/kdeia and
e)/ndeia -- than they can readily be made to appear in translation.

scholia to
Thucydides 1.99.1, where the headword appears (re 'arrears' of ship-contributions by the imperial allies of
Athens in the fifth century BCE).
