Mentioned wrong edict (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cited

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

'wrong edict' is the wordplay.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'edict' anagrammed gives 'CITED'.

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

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
