 33    III, X   |            because they are more in number, divide among themselves

 46     IV, IV  |     government in which the greater number are sovereign, for in oligarchies,

 48     IV, IV  |           the freemen, being few in number, rule over the many who
 49     IV, IV  |   government because they exceed in number; as was the case formerly
 50     IV, IV  |             at the same time few in number.~I have said that there
 51     IV, IV  |        citizens, or whatever be the number of those whom he associates
 52     IV, IV  |           rich are generally few in number, while the poor are many,
 53     IV, XI  |        possibilities of the greater number of states, or they approximate
 54     IV, XI  |          the poor greatly exceed in number, troubles arise, and the
 55     IV, XII |          meanly-born may be more in number than the well-born, or the
 56     IV, XII |     quantity and quality. Where the number of the poor is more than
 57     IV, XII |            the husbandmen exceed in number, the first form of democracy

 59     IV, XIII|    comprehensive to secure that the number of those who have the rights
 60     IV, XIII|             of citizens exceeds the number of those excluded. Even
 61     IV, XIV |            people greatly exceed in number those who have political
 62     IV, XIV |           many as would balance the number of the notables, or that
 63     IV, XIV |           the notables, or that the number in excess should be eliminated
 64     IV, XV  |             arise: What shall their number be? Over what shall they
 65     IV, XV  |          few hands, since the small number of citizens does not admit
 66     IV, XV  |     business; when these are few in number, the state inclines to an

 68     IV, XVI |             are. There are eight in number: One is the court of audits
 69      V, I   |             sameness or equality in number or size; by the second,
 70      V, II  |          may be said to be three in number; and we have now to give
 71      V, III |     imperceptibly; for example, the number of poor in democracies and
 72      V, III |            notables were reduced in number, because the soldiers had
 73      V, VI  |         oligarchy are quite a small number, there may be a demagogue
 74      V, VI  |      although the rulers are few in number, they govern a large city,
 75      V, VI  |        senators were only ninety in number, and were elected for life
 76      V, VII |            two; for the greater the number, the greater the strength,
 77      V, VII |            magistrates increased in number. The notables had previously

 80     VI, III |             approved by the greater number, and by those who have the
 81     VI, IV  |             more additions when the number of the commonalty exceeds
 82     VI, VI  |          rights of citizenship. The number of those admitted should

 88    VII, II  |     Iberians, a warlike nation, the number of enemies whom a man has
 89    VII, II  |           slain is indicated by the number of obelisks which are fixed
 90    VII, III |             to perform the greatest number of noble actions. if so,

 94    VII, IV  |          ought to regard, not their number, but their power. A city

 98    VII, IV  |           of a state is the largest number which suffices for the purposes

101    VII, VII |          have nearly determined the number and character of the citizens
102    VII, X   |             or rather times without number; for necessity may be supposed
