^{page 48 note 2} It is not possible to date the Politics in its present form more precisely than around the late 330s. (I intend to discuss this question elsewhere.)

^{page 48 note 3} With in 1317^b35, Aristotle returns to what he has been saying in lines 18–30.

^{page 48 note 4} This is so, even if in the late fourth century 1½dr. were being paid for attending a and only I dr. for other assemblies: Arist. Ath. Pol. 62. 2.

^{page 49 note 1} In 1320^a22–6 Aristotle contemplates the giving of dicastic pay to the poor but not the rich; but this is a hypothetical situation.

^{page 50 note 1} The most likely date of this overthrow of democracy at Rhodes is perhaps 391/o, but 358/7 is an obvious alternative (see Newman, W. L., The Politics of Arist., iv [Oxford, 1902], 299–300),Google Scholar and there are other possibilities. For a useful epitome of Rhodian political history in the fourth century, see Fraser, P. M., ‘Notes on Two Rhodian Institutions’, in B.S.A. lxvii (1972), 113–24, at 122–3.Google Scholar

^{page 50 note 2} The evidence has recently been reviewed by Fraser, op. cit., 119–24. The only detailed account of the Rhodian constitution is still that of van Gelder, H., Gesch. der alien Rhodier (The Hague, 1900), 178–288: see esp. 242–5 on theand 245–9 on theGoogle Scholar

^{page 51 note 2} I am grateful to Professor R. G. M. Nisbet for pointing out to me that the structure of the sentence (otherwise rambling) is improved if these four words are taken with what precedes rather than with what follows, and that editors are consequently mistaken in putting a semicolon after ‘senatorio’.

^{page 51 note 3} The Rhodian Assembly met in the theatre: see e.g. Polyb. 15. 23. 2.

^{page 51 note 4} We know almost nothing of the Rhodian judicial system: see van Gelder, op. cit., 244.

^{page 51 note 5} It will be sufficient to refer to Fraser, op. cit. (p. 50 n. I above), 123 n. 71.

^{page 51 note 7} Dio could conceivably be referring to daily sessions of the Rhodian recruited from the whole body of citizens, at least for certain periods.

^{page 52 note 1} Iasus paid only 1 talent per year to Athens during the Empire, until the amount was raised to 3 talents (A T.L. ii. 34, List 34 [421/0], Col. i, line 91; and perhaps ii. 36, List 39 [416/15], line 35), doubtless by the reassessment decree of 425. Although in 412, it was then sacked by the Peloponnesians (Thuc. 8. 28. 3). Strabo (14. 2. 21, p. 658) speaks of it as having poor soil and of the inhabitants as gaining theirlivelihood mainly ‘from the sea’.
