Extract

The existence of a work by Aristotle on the constitution of Athens is attested by the historians Philochorus, writing before 306 B.C., and Timaeus, writing about 300 B.C. No trace of such a work was known until 1891, when the almost complete text of one was recovered from the sands of Egypt by F. G. Kenyon of the British Museum. It was then recognised that two small and much damaged sheets found ten years before also contained parts of this work.
