genuineness may be ascribed to the greater part of the Politics. The
chapter may be regarded either as an imperfect recapitulation or as
notes for the continuation of the subject. The story of Philolaus,
and the discussion respecting Solon, are characteristic of Aristotle.
The change of construction
arises from the insertion of the clause^6 mpl 4v p'cBqv v6pos. The
accusative may be explained as the accusative of the remote object
after cip+18i&or ylvovrar, or may be taken with ncpi.

exception to nature (cp. Nic. Eth. v. 7. $ 4, (phi yztp 4 8e&b rtpchv
Kairor ivBixcrai was Q+rSr&!ovr yevLdar), whereas in Plato (Laws
794 D, E) the ordinary use of the right hand only is regarded as
a limitation of nature.rtai 4v c'v rois TOkfplKOk d~rttp~.
