Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

  1. I. A dividing, distributing, distribution (very rare): hanc ἰσονομίαν appellat Epicurus, id est aequabilem tributionem, * Cic. N. D. 1, 19, 50: tributio fit pro ratā ejus, quod cuique debetur, Dig. 14, 4, 5 fin.
  2. II. A contributing, paying of tribute, Dig. 2, 14, 52; 50, 4, 18.
