page 142 note 2 For Aristotle's relations with Hermias, see Jaeger, Aristotle (English translation), pp. 111–18; Von der Mühl in Pauly–Wissowa, R.-E., Supplementband iii, 1126 ff.; also Leaf, W., Proc. Class. Assoc., 1921, pp. 36 ff.;Google ScholarStrabo on the Troad, pp. 295–300. Leaf considers Hermias as pre-eminently a banker, whose political power was based mainly on his control of local finance. He relies chiefly on Strabo xiii. 57, Jaeger chiefly on Didymus' commentary. Mulvany, C., in C.Q., 1926, pp. 155 ff.Google Scholar, criticizes some details of the literary tradition.
