    An ancient proverb naturally attributed by tradition (Diog. Laert.
    i. 60; Stobaeus xlvi, p. 308) to Solon. Cp. Plut. .4pophth. Lac.

    At first Aristotle appeared to draw an artificial line betxeen tht?
    good citizen and the good man; but he now shifts his point OF
    view. The good man may be supposed to have all virtue; lit
    must therefore have the virtues both of the ruler and subjrc!.
    although the virtue of the ruler is of a peculiar character, and the
    virtue of the subject, if he be a freeman, takes many forms. So the
    virtue of a man and of a woman differ in degree and even in kind.
    yet both are included in the idea of virtue.

      Cp. Plat. Rep. x. 601 D, E, where the distinction is dram
      between the rorgnjs who has only ~iorts aped and the Xphpfuos ~110
      has ;~~ar{pq, and where there is the same illustration from the
      difference between the uWorror6s and the abhprjs, and Cratylus 388 8.

  4. The discussion which follon-s is not unconnected with the
    preceding. For if, as has been assumed, a freeman or citizen iq
    one who commands as well as obeys, then it would seem that the
    artisan or mean person, even though not a slave, must he es-
    cluded.
