Quoted the wrong edict (5)
I believe the answer is:
cited
'quoted' is the definition.
('cite' can be a synonym of 'quote')
'wrong edict?' is the wordplay.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'edict' anagrammed gives 'CITED'.
'the' is the link.
(Other definitions for cited that I've seen before include "Called for" , "Made reference to -- edict (anag)" , "Quoted or mentioned as example" , "Summoned" , "Commended" .)
