AB3 A preordered class is said to satisfy the third Grothedieck axiom AB3 iff for all families indexed over a set , a least upper bound exists.
AB3* A preordered class is said to satisfy the dual third Grothedieck axiom AB3* iff for all families indexed over a set , a greatest lower bound exists.
AB5 A class of preordered sets is said to satisfy the fifth Grothendieck axiom AB5 if and only if for all and all families of elements of elements of and each element , we have
