The arrangement of the classes here is somewhat disorderly, the
second class or Knights being placed third in the series. That
Aristotle should have supposed the Hippeis to have formed the
third class is incredible ; but it is difficult to say what amount of
error is possible in a later writer. See an absurd mistake in
Suidas and Photius about iruris and ilruhs (Boeckh, P. E. ii. 260)
under irmis, which in Photius s. ZJ. is called a fifth class; while in
the next entry four Athenian classes are cited in the usual order
with a reference to Aristotle (I) de Rep. Atheniensium, and an
addition ' that iasci8cs belong to im& ' (?).

Strabo (vi. 260), quoting Ephorus, says that Zaleucus macle one
great innovation, in taking away from the dicasts, and inserting
in the law, the power of fixing the penalty after sentence was given.
Aristotle attributes greater precision to Charondas than to modern
legislators. But early laws have a greater appearance of precision
because society is simpler, and there are fewer of them.

Thales, called also Thaletas, probably the Cretan poet who is
said by Ephorus apud Strabonem, x. p. 481, to have been the
friend of Lycurgus; and also to have introduced the Cretan rhythm
into vocal music. Mentioned in Plut. de Musica, pp. I 135, 1146.
Clinton supposes him to have flourished from 690 to 660 B.C. Rut
chronology cannot be framed out of disjointed statements of
Plutarch and Pausanias.

A greater anachronism respecting Lycurgus is found in the
fragments of Ephorus (Strabo x. 482, invxdvra 8, BE +mi we.,
