 1 1 |          be the right one; for if number is to be the criterion,
 2 1 |           a few, or indeed to any number; and he would do well who
 3 1 |        only, rather than with any number of other things, whether
 4 1 |       himself in company with any number of others, and display his
 5 2 |        most mirth to the greatest number? Now is this a true way
 6 3 |         are they, and how many in number? Is there not one claim
 7 4 |        with the diminution of the number.~Cleinias. You mean to say,
 8 4 |   government is in the hands of a number of potentates. I am supposing
 9 4 |        has occurred times without number in states—~Cleinias. What
10 5 |           not differ severally in number and magnitude and intensity
11 5 |        pleasures in greatness and number and frequency. Hence one
12 5 |           In the first place, the number of the citizens has to be
13 5 |          determined, and also the number and size of the divisions
14 5 |          as fairly as we can. The number of citizens can only be
15 5 |  sufficient to maintain a certain number of inhabitants in a moderate
16 5 |          is not required; and the number of citizens should be sufficient
17 5 |         outline of our state. The number of our citizens shall be
18 5 |         this will be a convenient number; and these shall be owners
19 5 |           to a lot. Let the whole number be first divided into two
20 5 |          then into three; and the number is further capable of being
21 5 |        four or five parts, or any number of parts up to ten. Every
22 5 |           to be able to tell what number is most likely to be useful
23 5 |         we are going to take that number which contains the greatest
24 5 |           divisions. The whole of number has every possible division,
25 5 |        possible division, and the number 5040 can be divided by exactly
26 5 |         land. These properties of number should be ascertained at
27 5 |          further that the present number of families should be always
28 5 |           devise a means that the number of 5040 houses shall always
29 5 |          be taken to increase the number of births by rewards and
30 5 |          fewer than the appointed number by reason of bereavement,
31 5 |         and agreement, as regards number and every good and noble
32 5 |        all, observe the aforesaid number 5040 throughout life; in
33 5 |      quality shall be larger. The number of the lots shall be 5040,
34 5 |       parts admit of the greatest number of divisions of that which
35 6 |         are two parts: first, the number of the magistracies, and
36 6 |            suitable in nature and number. But before electing the
37 6 |        judged to be first, to the number of 300, shall be shown by
38 6 |          second selection, to the number of 100, shall be again exhibited
39 6 |      thirty who have the greatest number of votes. But who, Cleinias
40 6 |          of the colonists, to the number of not less than a hundred;
41 6 |       three who have the greatest number of votes shall be appointed
42 6 |         two who have the greatest number of votes shall be the leaders
43 6 |          360 will be a convenient number for sub–division. If we
44 6 |            If we divide the whole number into four parts of ninety
45 6 |           of measure, weight, and number, which regulates and apportions
46 6 |     energy. Moreover, the greater number of the senators will have
47 6 |       three who have the greatest number of votes [out of the twelve
48 6 |         the country were sixty in number, and the wardens of the
49 6 |       been given on them, and the number is reduced to the six who
50 6 |         six who have the greatest number of votes, let the electing
51 6 |         and second class, five in number: ten are to be first elected,
52 6 |           he who has the greatest number of votes, after he has undergone
53 6 |          must first return to the number 5040—the entire number had,
54 6 |        the number 5040—the entire number had, and has, a great many
55 6 |     convenient divisions, and the number of the tribes which was
56 6 |         And not only is the whole number divisible by twelve, but
57 6 |           by twelve, but also the number of each tribe is divisible
58 6 |         than the selection of the number 5040, which may be divided
59 6 |         both families; and a like number of members of the family
60 6 |       possible, with a sufficient number of suitable slaves who can
61 6 |          and let them in whatever number, large or small, and at
62 7 |      accomplishments in the given number of years, they should let

64 7 |        and sometimes for a lesser number of persons; and they arrange
65 8 |    regulated by us.~Cleinias. The number—yes.~Athenian. Then we will
66 8 |          will first determine the number; and let the whole number
67 8 |         number; and let the whole number be 365—one for every day—
68 8 |           already said, the whole number of them belonging to any
69 8 |           earth, taking the whole number of them.~In the second place,
70 9 |        sufferings are infinite in number and degree, and that they
71 9 |     according to their nature and number, and determine what will
72 9 |     fortune, in which there are a number of sons; from that family
73 10|          Cleinias. How?~Athenian. Number like some other things is
74 10|         parts; when thus divided, number is named “even,” and the
75 10| definition of the name “even” is “number divisible into two equal
76 10|         thing, calling “even” the number which is divided into two
77 10|           second, or by any lower number which you may prefer?~Cleinias.
78 11|       they are and whatever their number be, if they are able and

81 11|         dies leaving a sufficient number of children, the mother
82 12|        three men out of their own number in the manner following:—
83 12|     persons who have the greatest number of votes, they shall make
84 12|         half, if they are an even number; but if they are not an
85 12|           if they are not an even number, they shall subtract the
86 12|          one who has the smallest number of votes, and make them
87 12|      votes, and make them an even number, and then leave the half
88 12|         half which have the great number of votes. And if two persons
89 12|         two persons have an equal number of votes, and thus increase
90 12|      votes, and thus increase the number beyond one–half, they shall
91 12|           three having an unequal number of votes. But if all the
92 12|           of which the nature and number have been described, and
