Aristotle divides the state, much as we should do, into three
&)arts, I) the legislative, (which has in certain cases power over in-
tiividuals ; see infra $ 3) : 2) the administrative or executive : 3) the
judicial. The words ro5ro 6' iuriv seem to refer back to 6ti ecopriv
rbv vopoe~q~. For the
duties and modes of appointment to offices are not a part of the
state. but questions relating to a part of the state.

A reduplication of the preceding, although there may also be a
shade of distinction in the greater stress which is laid upon voting
and scrutinies. Here, as in other places (c. 4. $8 22-24; c. 6.
$8 3, 4), we have a difficulty in discriminating Aristotle's differences.
There is only an incomplete order in the catalogue of democracies.
First of all comes the most moderate, in which the assembly plays
a very subordinate part, then two more which are almost indis-
tinguishable, lastly the most extreme.
