See Korte, Lovász & Schrader (1991), Theorem 3.13, p. 32, which defines paths as rooted sets, sets with a distinguished element, and states an equivalent characterization on the families of rooted sets that form the paths of antimatroids. Korte, Bernhard; Lovász, László; Schrader, Rainer (1991), "Chapter III: Abstract Convexity – Antimatroids", Greedoids, Springer-Verlag, pp. 19–43, doi:10.1007/978-3-642-58191-5_3, ISBN3-540-18190-3.
Monjardet (1985) credits a dual form of this characterization to several papers from the 1960s by S. P. Avann. Monjardet, Bernard (1985), "A use for frequently rediscovering a concept", Order, 1 (4): 415–417, doi:10.1007/BF00582748, S2CID119378521.
