Strong cartesianness

Definition(Strong cartesianness) . For categories $\mathcal{E},\mathcal{B}$ and a functor $p:\mathcal{E}\to\mathcal{B}$, a morphism $f\in\operatorname{Mor}(\mathcal{E})$ is called $p$-strongly cartesian, if for any $f'\in\operatorname{Mor}(\mathcal{E})$ s.t. $\operatorname{cod}(f)=\operatorname{cod}(f')$ and any morphism $\psi:p(\operatorname{dom}(f')) \to p(\operatorname{dom}(f))$ s.t. $p(f)\circ \psi = p(f')$, there is a unique $g:\operatorname{dom}(f')\to\operatorname{dom}(f)$ with $f \circ g = f'$ and $p(g)=\psi$.

When $\psi$ is restricted to be an identity, $f$ is called $p$-weakly cartesian. For a Grothendieck fibration (that is, $p$ s.t. composition of cartesian arrows are cartesian, and for all $a\in\mathcal{E}$ and all morphisms $\phi$ with codomain $p(a)$, there is a cartesian lifting of $\phi$), strong cartesianness can be replaced by weak cartesianness. A (contravariant) pseudofunctor sending $b\in\mathcal{B}$ and $1_b$ to their inverse images (which form a category) is the Grothendieck construction.
