Edict possibly mentioned (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cited

'mentioned' is the definition.
('cite' can be a synonym of 'mention')

'edict possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'edict' is an anagram of 'CITED'.

(Other definitions for cited that I've seen before include "Commended" , "Quoted or mentioned as example" , "Called for" , "Made reference to -- edict (anag)" , "Summoned" .)
