Byzantine commentator on Aristotle cited on the terminology of merit-based equality.
Aristotle distinguishes aptitude or capacity, by the name of worth or merit, and Michael of Ephesus, gives the epithet of suitable or becoming to the equality established by this rule of merit.
As Michael the Ephesian in the fifth book of Aristotle’s Ethics has observed, that the compensation made to the parents, the wife or children of the deceased is nearly the same as if it could be made to himself.
