  10     IV, XVI  |             all these there must be (8) courts for small suits
  11    III, XV   |              that for any science to abide by written rules is absurd.
  12      V, XII  |             cause is that nothing is abiding, but all things change in
  13      V, III  |           two spans; and, should the abnormal increase be one of quality
  14    III, III  |            as well as their place of abode, remain the same, the city
  15      V, VII  |             their purpose, wanted to abolish this law and allow their

  17    VII, XVI  |              children in excess, let abortion be procured before sense
  18      V, I    |          whereas the rich everywhere abound. That a state should be
  19     II, VII  |            island of Leucas, and the abrogation of it made the constitution
  20   VIII, II   |           paid employments, for they absorb and degrade the mind. There
  21      I, IX   |         depend on property, they are absorbed in getting wealth: and so
  22     VI, VII  |            Thebes, to those who have abstained for a certain number of
  23    III, V    |      objection goes there is no more absurdity in excluding them than in
  24     IV, XV   |              of the assembly receive abundant pay; for they have nothing
  25     IV, II   |   constitution is the most generally acceptable, and what is eligible in
  26    VII, III  |         noble.~But perhaps some one, accepting these premises, may still
  27    VII, V    |            it should be difficult of access to the enemy, and easy of
  28      V, III  |            at Oreum, where, upon the accession of Heracleodorus to office,
  29    III, I    |            name of citizen any other accidental manner, we may say, first,
  30     IV, VIII |           education are commonly the accompaniments of wealth. Moreover, the
  31      V, XI   |            the citizens, for the one accompany him, but the others remain
  32      I, IX   |        several ends, for they aim at accomplishing their ends to the uttermost (
  33      I, IV   |           proper instruments for the accomplishment of their work, so it is
  34    III, XVII |            the same excellence), but accords with the principle already
  35     II, IX   |                 All magistracies are accountable to the Ephors." Yes, but
  36     VI, VIII |         names—Scrutineers, Auditors, Accountants, Controllers. Besides all
  37     IV, II   |           one oligarchy is not to be accounted better than another, but
  38    VII, VI   |              harm which is likely to accrue may be easily guarded against
  39    VII, XIV  |         desire empire in the hope of accumulating the goods of fortune; and
  40    III, IX   |         against evil-doers; still an accurate thinker would not deem this
  41      V, X    |         favor of the people by their accusation of the notables. At any
  42    VII, XIV  |             which the Lacedaemonians accuse king Pausanias of attempting,
  43     II, VIII |            to the effect that if the accuser produce a certain number
  44    VII, XVII |          straighten their bodies. To accustom children to the cold from
  45      V, I    |             there has always been an acknowledgment of justice and proportionate
  46    VII, VII  |              against our friends and acquaintances than against those who are
  47    III, XIV  |             as they are elective and acquiesced in by their subjects, they
  48      V, IV   |           citizens are deceived into acquiescing in a change of government,
  49   VIII, VI   |              rejected it because the acquirement of flute-playing contributes
  50     II, VIII |              just, for the judge who acquits does not decide that the
  51     II, VIII |         acquittal; but, if he partly acquitted and partly condemned, he
  52              | across
  53      V, X    |           was.~And sometimes men are actuated by more than one motive,

  55      V, IX   |              of constitutions is the adaptation of education to the form
  56     VI, I    |            and advantageous to each, adding what remains to be said
  57     VI, IV   |             would be to make no more additions when the number of the commonalty

  59    VII, VII  |              friends, very naturally addresses his soul in these words:~
  60     II, VIII |            besides aspiring to be an adept in the knowledge of nature,
  61      V, X    |            to others as to represent adequately the greatness and dignity
  62     VI, V    |          useless public services. By administering the state in this spirit

  64     II, IX   |         generals, and this office of admiral is but the setting up of

  66    III, V    |            law goes to the length of admitting aliens; for in some democracies
  67      I, XIII |           stand even more in need of admonition than children.~So much for
  68     II, XII  |         which they call the "Laws of Adoption." These laws were peculiar
  69    VII, XVI  |             the physicians give good advice about the favorable conditions
  70    III, XV   |             or by the best laws.~The advocates of royalty maintain that
  71      V, X    |              too, and Heracleides of Aenos, slew Cotys in order to
  72     IV, X    |            in ancient Hellas, called Aesymnetes or Dictators. These monarchies,
  73    III, XIV  |            ancient Hellas, called an Aesymnetia or dictatorship. This may
  74    III, XIV  |           the power of the so-called Aesynmete or Dictator; this is an
  75      V, XII  |              change which peculiarly affects the first, or perfect state.
  76   VIII, V    |          seems to be in us a sort of affinity to musical modes and rhythms,

  79    VII, III  |             first class are right in affirming that the life of the freeman
  80     VI, IV   |       expedient and customary in the aforementioned type of democracy that all
  81      V, XII  |             at all? And is it by the agency of time, which, as he declares,
  82      V, VII  |             Spartans in the reign of Agesilaus; or, again, when some are
  83    VII, VIII |            For a state is not a mere aggregate of persons, but a union
  84    III, IX   |            community of families and aggregations of families in well-being,
  85     VI, VII  |              still young, taught the agile movements of light-armed
  86    VII, XIV  |             by argument and has long ago been refuted by facts. For
  87    VII, XV   |      Lacedaemonians. For they, while agreeing with other men in their
  88    III, IX   |           one state. True, they have agreements about imports, and engagements
  89     II, II   |         mutual protection is the end aimed at), just as a greater weight
  90    VII, VIII |           but a community of equals, aiming at the best life possible.
  91      V, VI   |            at Larissa when Simos the Aleuad had the government, and
  92    VII, V    |            be the territory which is all-producing, for to have all things
  93      V, IV   |       persuasion, their goodwill and allegiance are retained. The revolutions
  94    III, IV   |              There is a point nearly allied to the preceding: Whether
  95    III, XIII |              than they humbled their allies contrary to treaty; and
  96     VI, IV   |             one to sell his original allotment of land. There is a similar
  97              | along
  98    III, XV   |              physician is allowed to alter his treatment after the
  99    VII, XIII |        having at birth, for they are altered by habit, and there are
 100     IV, XIV  |      prohibitions of the law without altering it, and any one who has
 101    III, III  |            form of their composition alters; for example, a scale containing
 102    III, XIII |           Thrasybulus cannot be held altogether just in their censure. The
 103      V, X    |           Thracian conspired against Amadocus, whose general he was.~And
 104      I, XII  |         illustrated by the saying of Amasis about his foot-pan. The
 105      I, XI   |        individuals have succeeded in amassing a fortune; for all this
 106     IV, XV   |           choruses and heralds, even ambassadors, are elected by vote. Some
 107      V, III  |          reduced to nothing. For the Ambraciots thought that a small qualification
 108    III, XVI  |             permits them to make any amendment of the existing laws which
 109   VIII, III  |             amusement is needed more amid serious occupations than
 110     VI, IV   |           nothing of this sort comes amiss to such a democracy. This
 111   VIII, III  |           Clearly we ought not to be amusing ourselves, for then amusement
 112     IV, VI   |            sort of oligarchy, and is analogous to the last sort of democracy.~
 113     IV, IV   |          therefore we must carry our analysis further, and say that the
 114      V, XII  |          Rhegium into the tyranny of Anaxilaus; the same thing has happened
 115    III, II   |             How this third or fourth ancestor came to be a citizen? Gorgias
 116     II, X    |             common meals, which were anciently called by the Lacedaemonians
 117     II, X    |   Lacedaemonians not "phiditia" but "andria"; and the Cretans have the
 118     II, IX   |       recently, in the matter of the Andrians, certain of the Ephors who
 119     II, XII  |             commit acts of violence.~Androdamas of Rhegium gave laws to
 120      I, XI   |         getting wealth. There is the anecdote of Thales the Milesian and
 121    III, X    |              and the majority divide anew the property of the minority,
 122     II, V    |         virtues, besides, is visibly annihilated in such a state: first,
 123      V, VIII |          money; then they are doubly annoyed; for they lose both honor
 124     IV, XV   |             less; sometimes they are annual, while in other cases offices
 125    VII, XV   |             things, birth implies an antecedent beginning, and that there
 126      V, XII  |         oligarchy, as the tyranny of Antileon did at Chalcis; into democracy,
 127    III, XIV  |           exiles, who were headed by Antimenides and Alcaeus the poet. And
 128    VII, XI   |              for security in war the antiquated mode of building, which

 130    III, XIII |         retort what, in the fable of Antisthenes, the lions said to the hares,
 131     II, I    |         something beyond them we are anxious to make a sophistical display
 132     II, IX   |            right in uniting Ares and Aphrodite, for all warlike races are
 133     VI, IV   |              would be the law of the Aphytaeans, who, although they are
 134      I, XI   |            by Chares the Parian, and Apollodorus the Lemnian, who have treated
 135    III, VII  |              of them will at once be apparent. The words constitution
 136    VII, XIV  |             imposed. Wherefore, many apparently menial offices are an honor
 137     IV, I    |         science to consider all that appertains to a single subject. For
 138      I, V    |              the intellect rules the appetites with a constitutional and
 139    VII, XV   |              and the training of the appetitive part should follow: none
 140    VII, XVII |           had recourse to mechanical appliances which straighten their bodies.
 141     IV, XV   |              I will now inquire into appointments to offices. The varieties
 142   VIII, VI   |            they must have learned to appreciate what is good and to delight
 143    III, IV   |            same question may also be approached by another road, from a
 144     IV, VI   |             sort of family despotism approaches a monarchy; individuals
 145      I, XII  |              And therefore Homer has appropriately called Zeus "father of Gods

 147      V, I    |             middle class more nearly approximates to democracy than to oligarchy,
 148     II, II   |             good thing or a bad), an approximation to this is that equals should
 149    III, XV   |           sovereign who does nothing arbitrarily or contrary to law, still
 150     II, VIII |            an arbitrator. Now, in an arbitration, although the arbitrators
 151     II, VIII |            is thus converted into an arbitrator. Now, in an arbitration,
 152     II, VIII |            arbitration, although the arbitrators are many, they confer with
 153     II, II   |            in villages, but lives an Arcadian sort of life); but the elements

 156    VII, VII  |            by them; for which reason Archilochus, complaining of his friends,

 160     II, VI   |              who was one of the most ardent legislators, thought that
 161     II, IX   |           have been right in uniting Ares and Aphrodite, for all warlike
 162    III, XIII |             similar reason; the ship Argo would not take him because
 163    III, XIII |          Mythology tells us that the Argonauts left Heracles behind for
 164   VIII, V    |      rejoicing and loving and hating aright, there is clearly nothing
 165      V, X    |   Mithridates, who conspired against Ariobarzanes, partly out of contempt
 166      V, VI   |          time of prosperity, whether arising from peace or some other
 167     VI, I    |   oligarchically, and the law-courts aristocratically, or when the courts and

 172      V, III  |            at Syracuse the democracy aroused contempt before the tyranny

 175      V, X    |            forms of government. Thus Artapanes conspired against Xerxes

 177    VII, IV   |             the limit will be easily ascertained by experience. For both
