Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 9047

9047. 'And shall pay in accordance with the judges' means according to what is right. This is clear from the meaning of 'the judges' as those who decide and settle matters on the basis of what is fair and right, and therefore 'paying in accordance with the judges', or as the judges estimate, means according to what is right, thus neither more nor less. If overpayment or likewise underpayment has been made they shall adjust to the right amount.
