POLITICS OF ARISTOTLE

76 ARlSTOTLE '5' POLITZCS.

To these Anopiar he finds no answer. He adds one or two

more : ' How can the husbandmen produce enough for themselves

and the warriors? And why, if they can, should there be any

distinction between their lots and those of the soldiers? '

       Either oi& is here used like oh in the sense of 'property' or
       ' inheritance '; or yrOp+uct must be taken to mean ' maintains by
       agriculture.' (Cp. for a similar use of oirtia Dem. de Falsd Leg.
       KOOVWJ rds rdv xp~p'hov oldas : and for another singular use of
       yropyio, i. 8. $ 6, 6mrp yropyiau [&av yropyodvrcs.) If neither of
       these explanations is deemed satisfactory, we must suppose a cor-
       ruption of the text, which may be corrected by reading ds 660 oldas
       (Bernays), or G~UIV oiKiats. The old Latin translation ' ministrabit'
       has suggested the emendation inoupyjutr. This is no better, or
       rather worse, Greek than yropyjurr in the sense given above.

        6 rir yirp clearly refers to the litigant, sc. a+radht oirrai. But in
        what follows, the words 4 d piv BX~OU 6 61 Z~UUUOV may refer either
        I) to the difference between the judges and the litigant or z) to
        the differences of the judges among themselves. In the first case
        4 d piv niiou d 62 &~uuov is a generalised statement of the words
        which have preceded, d p2u ydp cEoui pvk, d 82 brxaurjs Kppiucr 6&a
        pv&. But in the second case the words are restricted to d 61 ~LKU-
        onjr KphfL BiKa pv&, ~'A~os 6; sivrf, d 62 rirrapas. Anyhow there is
        a colloquial irregularity, the words WXos 6; nbrs .+.A. having crept
        in out of place, as an illustration of the general principle 6 & aXiov
        K.T.X. already stated.
