  1      I, IV  |         see what is the nature and office of a slave; he who is by
  2     II, II  |         should in turn retire from office and should, apart from official
  3     II, II  |         like manner when they hold office there is a variety in the
  4     II, IX  |           whole people, and so the office is apt to fall into the
  5     II, IX  |            together with the royal office, the whole constitution
  6     II, IX  |        have a share in the highest office, and the result, whether
  7     II, IX  |         council of elders (for the office of elder is a reward of
  8     II, IX  |       important causes should hold office for life is a disputable
  9     II, IX  |     elected should canvass for the office; the worthiest should be
 10     II, IX  |       perpetual generals, and this office of admiral is but the setting
 11     II, X   | constitutions are similar; for the office of the Ephors is the same
 12     II, X   |            council. And the kingly office once existed in Crete, but
 13     II, X   |      having a share in the highest office, want the constitution to
 14     II, X   |       profit to be made out of the office as out of the Ephoralty,
 15     II, X   |        resign before their term of office has expired. Surely all
 16     II, X   |           is the suspension of the office of Cosmi, a device to which
 17     II, XI  |            of 100, and should hold office longer than other magistrates (
 18     II, XI  |         before and after they hold office)—these are oligarchical
 19     II, XI  |            class, not only when in office, but when out of office,
 20     II, XI  |            office, but when out of office, should have leisure and
 21     II, XI  |           leisure for them when in office.~It would seem also to be
 22    III, I   |           of time—for example, the office of a dicast or ecclesiast.
 23    III, I   |   distinction, call it "indefinite office," and we will assume that
 24    III, I   |            those who share in such office are citizens. This is the
 25    III, I   |     definite, not of an indefinite office, who legislates and judges,
 26    III, II  |            there are some who hold office, and yet ought not to hold
 27    III, II  |          and yet ought not to hold office, whom we describe as ruling,
 28    III, II  |       holding some kind of rule or office—he who holds a judicial
 29    III, II  |            judicial or legislative office fulfills our definition
 30    III, V   |         citizen who has a share of office, or is the mechanic to be
 31    III, V   |      included? If they who hold no office are to be deemed citizens,
 32    III, V   |  oligarchies the qualification for office is high, and therefore no
 33    III, V   |         law that no man could hold office who had not retired from
 34    III, VI  |            that they ought to hold office by turns. Formerly, as is
 35    III, VI  |     interest, just as he, while in office, had looked after theirs.
 36    III, VI  |           public revenues and from office, men want to be always in
 37    III, VI  |           men want to be always in office. One might imagine that
 38    III, VI  |            while they continued in office; in that case we may be
 39    III, XI  |         poor men are excluded from office will necessarily be full
 40    III, XI  |          do not allow them to hold office singly. When they meet together
 41    III, XII |          not ground their claim to office on every sort of inequality
 42    III, XII |           claims of candidates for office can only be based on the
 43    III, XII |         may with good reason claim office; for holders of offices
 44    III, XIV |      committed to them. The kingly office is in truth a kind of generalship,
 45    III, XIV |          hereditary. Sometimes the office was held for life, sometimes
 46    III, XV  |     general, and if so, should the office be confined to one family,
 47    III, XVI |           may be a general holding office for life, and one person
 48    III, XVII|          turn by a law which gives office to the well-to-do according
 49     IV, IV  |          majority have no share of office, an oligarchy. Therefore
 50     IV, IV  |          some must be able to take office and to serve the state,
 51     IV, IV  |          so the authority of every office is undermined. Such a democracy
 52     IV, V   |         property qualification for office is such that the poor, although
 53     IV, V   |       there is a qualification for office, but a high one, and the
 54     IV, XIII|            property cannot decline office upon oath, but the poor
 55     IV, XIII|           if they have no share in office, the poor, provided only
 56     IV, XIV |          deliberate, but come into office by turns, and are elected
 57     IV, XIV |       until every one has obtained office in his turn. The citizens,
 58     IV, XV  |         sphere of action, like the office of the general who superintends
 59     IV, XV  |       indeed necessary, that every office should have a special function;
 60     IV, XV  |            numerous, many may hold office. And so it happens that
 61     IV, XV  |          not admit of many holding office: for who will there be to
 62     IV, XV  |           convenient that the same office should have a more extensive,
 63     IV, XV  |          which is not a democratic office, although a bule or council
 64     IV, XV  |          the women, or any similar office, is suited to an aristocracy
 65     IV, XV  |      Neither is it an oligarchical office; for the wives of the oligarchs
 66      V, I   |          overthrow of a particular office: as at Sparta it is said
 67      V, I   |      election takes place, and the office of the single archon was
 68      V, III |      accession of Heracleodorus to office, the oligarchy was overthrown,
 69      V, III |    instance, the qualification for office, small at first, was eventually
 70      V, V   |        arose at Miletus out of the office of the Prytanis, who had
 71      V, V   |   qualification, the aspirants for office get hold of the people,
 72      V, VI  |      younger brothers, do not hold office together. At Massalia the
 73      V, VI  |            father and son not hold office together, and, if there
 74      V, VI  |        oligarchies which limit the office of counselor, judge, or
 75      V, VI  |    everybody participates in every office; this happens sometimes
 76      V, VII |      dishonored by those higher in office, as Lysander was by the
 77      V, VII |        where the qualification for office, at first high, was therefore
 78      V, VIII|      remarked. The short tenure of office prevents oligarchies and
 79      V, VIII|            harm when his tenure of office is short, whereas long possession
 80      V, VIII|          both honor and profit. If office brought no profit, then
 81      V, VIII|          All would be able to hold office, which is the aim of democracy,
 82      V, IX  |           many have virtue. In any office of trust or stewardship,
 83      V, IX  |           in the holder of such an office, but the necessary knowledge
 84      V, X   |       lives, sometimes against the office; where the sense of insult

 86      V, XI  |          the reason why the kingly office has lasted so long among
 87      V, XI  |           lasting basis the kingly office, which was thus made in
 88      V, XI  |        kingly power is to make the office of king more tyrannical,
 89     VI, I   |  oligarchical, and the election to office aristocratical, or when
 90     VI, II  |           should not hold the same office twice, or not often, or
 91     VI, IV  |         the cares of government or office where no great gains can
 92     VI, VII |            magistrates on entering office should offer magnificent
 93     VI, VIII|           into one state. A second office of a similar kind undertakes
 94     VI, VIII|        This is commonly called the office of City Warden, and has
 95     VI, VIII|          another equally necessary office, and of a similar kind,
 96     VI, VIII|          magistrates who hold this office are called Wardens of the
 97     VI, VIII|            three there is a fourth office of receivers of taxes, who
 98     VI, VIII|      preliminary proceedings. This office again is sometimes subdivided,
 99     VI, VIII|             Next to these comes an office of which the duties are
100     VI, VIII|             The difficulty of this office arises out of the odium
101     VI, VIII|         execute the law. Still the office is necessary; for judicial
102     VI, VIII|        execution of them. It is an office which, being so unpopular,
103     VI, VIII|          to magistrates already in office, when one court has given
104     VI, VIII|          some device to render the office less unpopular. For it is
105     VI, VIII|            of necessity be another office which examines and audits
106     VI, VIII|           matters of religion. One office of this sort may be enough
107    VII, IX  |          the manner in which their office is to be regulated is obvious.
