 10    III, VIII|     mentioned by us, in which the rich are the more numerous and
 11    III, VIII|          due to the fact that the rich everywhere are few, and
 12    III, VIII|      democracy. But as a fact the rich are few and the poor many;
 13    III, X   |    themselves the property of the rich—is not this unjust? No,
 14    III, X   |          the multitude coerce the rich. But is it just then that
 15    III, XI  |         and citizens, who are not rich and have no personal merit—
 16    III, XII |           noble, or free-born, or rich, may with good reason claim
 17    III, XIII|        not an absolute claim. The rich claim because they have

 19    III, XIII|           has a government of the rich, another of the virtuous,

 22     IV, III |         keep them unless they are rich. And therefore in old times

 33     IV, IV  |         state. Again, because the rich are generally few in number,
 34     IV, IV  |           more advantage than the rich; and that neither should

 36     IV, VIII|          of wealth. Moreover, the rich already possess the external
 37     IV, VIII|        poor and the wealth of the rich, who commonly take the place

 41     IV, IX  |         with with the sons of the rich, who are educated in such

 45     IV, XI  |       poor covet the goods of the rich; and as they neither plot
 46     IV, XI  |        two classes who are either rich or poor, and to leave nothing
 47     IV, XI  |      whichever party, whether the rich or the common people, transgresses

 51     IV, XII | intermediate forms. But where the rich and the notables exceed
 52     IV, XII |          will be no fear that the rich will unite with the poor
 53     IV, XII |         better than this, for the rich and the poor will never

 58     IV, XIII|          courts the rich, and the rich only, are fined if they
 59     IV, XIII|          fine is inflicted on the rich, and a smaller one on the
 60     IV, XIII|     obliged to have arms, but the rich are fined for not having
 61     IV, XIII|           not attend, whereas the rich are liable to a fine, and
 62     IV, XIII|         inflict no penalty on the rich for non-attendance. It is
 63     IV, XIII|           paid to attend, and the rich fined if they do not attend,

 72      V, V   |           accusations against the rich that they may have their
 73      V, V   |       denounced Daphnaeus and the rich; his enmity to the notables
 74      V, VI  |       stirred them up against the rich. For a like reason in Aegina

 76      V, VII |       they are contented. But the rich, if the constitution gives

 78      V, VIII|          combine the poor and the rich in one body, or to increase
 79      V, VIII|       their own concerns; and the rich, who do not want money from
 80      V, VIII|       keep to their work and grow rich, and the notables will not

 95     VI, III |         composed—the poor and the rich—that is to be deemed law,

102     VI, V   |           and in the meantime the rich should pay the fee for the
103     VI, V   |  dependent towns, where they grow rich. It is also worthy of a

105     VI, VII |           is better suited to the rich than to the poor. But the
