other event which corresponds with the account given either here

under the control of Athens; nor would a democracy be likely to
have joined the Peloponnesian confederacy.UT~ULL~OUUL 6' iv p2v rais 6XryapXiars K.T.X. 3.14.

oligarchies and democracies.' This general reflection is intro-
duced awkwardly amid the special causes of revolutions in states.
Iht a similar confusion of general and particular occurs in several
other passages; e. g. iv. 4. Q 22 K.
