9
. Aristotle,
Athenaion Politeia
7.3–4; on the (non-numerical) classes, see
(correctly) G. E. M. de Sainte Croix,
Athenian Democratic Origins
(2004), 5–72; I must stress that the ‘300’ and ‘200’ measures for hippeis and zeugites are only an Aristotelian guess (
eulogotera
) and are not historical.
Zeugitai
, like (e. g.)
boarii
in early medieval law-codes, owned oxen; hippeis owned horses. It is unfortunate that these Aristotelian guesses are too often taken as key ‘statistical’ sources for the archaic state’s economy and land-holdings.

1
. Hippocrates,

Recherches sur l’histoire et les cultes de Thasos
, volume I (1954), 249–50 is crucial for the dating, but I identify the mention of the ‘new wall’ with Thasos’ new wall built by the 460s, and I keep Polygnotus and therefore ‘Antiphon, son of Critoboulus’ up in the 460s too. I acknowledge many discussions of this rare point with the late D. M. Lewis, who agreed.
