Adiecta

Adiecta is a Latin term meaning "added" or "things added." Grammatically, it is the feminine singular form of the adjective adiectus, and it can also appear as a substantive to denote additions or appendices; the neuter plural adiecta is used in some contexts. The word is common in classical and medieval Latin when referring to material that has been appended to a text, charter, or list, such as marginal notes, supplementary clauses, or later editorial additions.

In textual criticism and manuscript studies, adiecta designates additions made after the original work. Editors and annotators may label adiecta as parts added to the main text, for example adiecta tabulae (appended tables) or adiecta verba (added words), indicating content introduced later. The term can also appear in legal or administrative documents to refer to provisions or items added to a list of witnesses, assets, or conditions.

Etymology: adiecta derives from Latin adiectus, meaning "added." The form adapts to Latin gender and number, appearing as feminine singular or neuter plural in appropriate grammatical contexts.
