OF THE CIVIL GOVERNMENT OF ATHENS,
sembly, where, if condemned by private votes the proedri shall exact a
fine from him, to be paid to the irgaxTogs; for his tfa^avofjua, or breach of
the laws (1).
LAWS TREATING OF DUTIES AND OFFICES.
The archons shall appoint in the assembly, by lots, a certain number of
flute-players, to be at the %6goi, or public dancings (2).
No stranger shall join in a dance with a chorus ; if he do, the choragus
shall be fined a thousand drachms (3).
Let it be lawful to inform against a stranger to the archon, before his
entrance into the theatre to dance (4).
A stranger, if indicted by a Xo^yo^, for dancing before the archon, shall
be fined fifty drachms : and a thousand, if he persist after prohibition (5).
Those dancers, who are (un^oi) infamous, are to be drove off the
stage (6).
Sixteen men are to be chosen out of all the public companies, to con-
tribute equally towards the building a man of war, which service they
are to engage in from twenty-five years of age to forty (7).
The qualification for a trierarch is, that he be worth ten talents, ac-
cording to which estimation he is to be chosen : but if his estate is rated
more, let him build ships equivalent; yet at most but three, with a skiff:
they who are not worth so much shall be joined together, so many of
them, till their estates make up the sum (8).
The tnerarchs, and overseers of the navy, shall be commissioned to
register their names, who, being of the same 2ufAfAo£<a, are indebted to
the commonwealth for ship-rigging, for which they shall sue them (9).
See book i. chap. 15. and in the following.
He that owes rigging, shall either give it, or give security (10).
All trierarchs elect shall betake themselves to the ships they are con-
stituted over(! l).
All trierarchs are to render an account of their administration (12).
There shall be an yearly appointment for the exchange of offices,
where he that shall be designed a \etm*yos. shall be exempted from serv-
ings if he can produce any vacant person richer than himself ; and if the
person produced, confess he is more wealthy than the other, he shall be
put into the other's place among the three hundred ; but if he denies it,
let them change estates (13). See as before, and in the following.
His house shall be sealed up who shall offer him-elf in the exchange.
They who do quit their own estates for those of their neighbours, shall
be obliged by oath to discover them in this form.
I will fairly and honestly make known the estimate of all my posses-
sions, except such as consist in those silver mines, which the state laws
exact no duties from.
Three days shall be allowed for those who are to make exchange for
their estates, to produce them.
No one shall be compelled to exhibit his estate which lies in mines.
