Aristotle, Athenian Constitution (ed. H. Rackham), chapter 27 (search)
dvice of Damonides of Oea (who was believed to suggest to Pericles most of his measures, owing to which they afterwards ostracized him), since he was getting the worst of it with his private resources, to give the multitude what was their own, and he instituted payment for the jury-courts; the result of which according to some critics was their deterioration, because ordinary persons always took more care than the respectable to cast lots for the duty. Also it was after this that the organized bribery of juries began, Anytus having first shown the way to it after his command at PylosPylos (Navarino) on the W. coast of Peloponnesus, had been taken by Athens 425 B.C, but was retaken by Sparta 409 B.C. Anytus (see also Aristot. Ath. Pol. 34.3, one of the prosecutors of Socrates) was sent with 30 triremes to its relief, but owing to weather never got round Cape Malea.; for when he was brought to trial by certain persons for having lost Pylos he bribed the court and got off.

409 B.C.When the events of this year had come to an end, in Athens Diocles took over the chief office,Of archon. and in Rome Quintus Fabius and Gaius Furius held the consulship. At this time Hannibal, the general of the Carthaginians, gathered together both the mercenaries he had collected from Iberia and the soldiers he had enrolled from Libya, manned sixty ships of war, and made ready some fifteen hundred transports. On these he loaded the troops, the siege-engines, missiles, and all the other accessories. After crossing with the fleet the Libyan Sea he came to land in Sicily on the promontory which lies opposite Libya and is called Lilybaeum; and at that very time some Selinuntian cavalry were tarrying in those regions, and having seen the great size of the fleet as it came to land, they speedily informed their fellow citizens of the presence of the enemy. The Selinuntians at once dispatched their letter-carriers to the Syracusans,

Having made these arrangements and left duplicate deeds in his house, he went to serve abroad with Thrasyllus. He was killed at Ephesus409 B.C. Thrasyllus was one of the commanders who were executed after Arginusae, 406 B.C.: for a time Diogeiton concealed from his daughter the death of her husband, and took possession of the deeds which he had left under seal, alleging that these documents were needed for recovering the sums lent on bottomry.

eason Nicias had not his name inscribed on the slab, being condemned as a voluntary prisoner and an unworthy soldier. On another slab are the names of those who fought in the region of Thrace and at Megara445 B.C., and when Alcibiades persuaded the Arcadians in Mantinea and the Eleans to revolt from the Lacedaemonians420 B.C., and of those who were victorious over the Syracusans before Demosthenes arrived in Sicily. Here were buried also those who fought in the sea-fights near the Hellespont409 B.C., those who opposed the Macedonians at Charonea338 B.C.>, those who marched with Cleon to Amphipolis<422 B.C., those who were killed at Delium in the territory of Tanagra424 B.C., the men Leosthenes led into Thessaly, those who sailed with Cimon to Cyprus449 B.C., and of those who with OlympiodorusSee Paus. 1.26.3. expelled the garrison not more than thirteen men.

to advise such a policy or attempt to describe it is much like saying a prayer. “Prayer” in the sense of a “pious wish” unlikely to be fulfilled, or a “last resort.” Be it so, then, that this is nothing but a prayer (and in truth every man ought always to begin his speaking and his thinking with the gods); yet may it attain fulfilment in indicating some such counsel as this:—Now and almost ever since the warThe struggle against the Carthaginians, which had lasted, with hardly a break, since 409 B.C. began both you and your enemies have been ruled continuously by that one family which your fathers set on the throne in the hour of their greatest distress, when Greek Sicily was in the utmost danger of being entirely overrun by the Carthaginians and barbarized. On that occasion they chose Dionysius because of his youth and warlike prowess to take charge of the military operations for which he was suited, with Hipparinus, who was older, as his fellow-counsellor, appointing them d

And moreover, in regard to the Sicilian business,The disastrous Sicilian expedition of 415-413 B.C. Cf. Thuc. vi. and vii. many will tell you what I said about the destruction of the army. As to bygones, you may hear from those who know: but there is an opportunity now of testing the worth of what the sign says. For as the handsome Sannio was setting out on campaign, the sign occurred to me, and he has gone now with Thrasyllus on an expedition bound for Ephesus and Ionia.409 B.C., when Thrasyllus succeeded in recovering Colophon for Athens. He was one of the commanders put to death by the Athenians after the battle of Arginusae, 406 B.C. I accordingly expect him to be either killed or brought very near it, and I have great fears for our force as a whole.

In the next year—in which was celebrated409 B.C. the ninety-third Olympiad, when the newly added two-horse race was won by Euagoras of Elis and the stadiumThe 200 yards foot-race. by Eubotas of Cyrene, Euarchippus being now ephor at Sparta and Euctemne of them and killed seven others, despite the fact that their cavalry came to the rescue. After this Thrasyllus led his409 B.C. army back to the coast, with the intention of sailing to Ephesus. But when Tissaphernes learned of this plan, he gatheres, after Selinus had been destroyed,By the Carthaginians, shortly after the events here narrated. they gave the rights of409 B.C. Ephesian citizenship as well. As for the Athenians, after obtaining a truce and so recovering the bodies of their dead, Pharnabazus, who came to its aid with a large force of cavalry, was defeated in battle and put to flight. And Alcibiades409 B.C. pursued him with the Athenian cavalry and one hundred and twenty of the hoplites, under the command of Menander, until d

me/xris ou(=. This verse is doubtless due to an interpolator who wished to limit ei)saei/. It has three marks of spuriousness. (1) me/xri, not me/xris, is the Attic form. (2) The anapaest in the first foot is a needless harshness, when either e(/ws or e)/st' a)\n was available. (3) The division of an anapaest (in the first foot) between two words has no Sophoclean parallel except in Phil. 795 to\n i)/son xro/non tre/foite th/nde th\n no/son: and the Philoctetes was one of the latest plays (409 B.C.).—It might be added that muxou\s ki/xwsi is a somewhat strange phrase; though we may compare Il. 21. 128a)/stu kixei/omen.

Ae'lia Gens plebeian, of which the family-names and surnames are CATUS, GALLUS, (GRACILIS, LAMIA, LIGUR, PAETUS, STAIENUS, STILO, TUBERO. On coins this gens is also written Ailia, but Ailia seems to be a distinct gens. The only family-names and surnames of the Aelia gens upon coins are Bala, Lamia, Paetus, and Sejanus. Of Bala nothing is known. Sejanus is the name of the favorite of Tiberius, who was adopted by one of the Aelii. [SEJANUS, AELIUS.] The first member of this gens, who obtained the consulship, was P. Aelius Paetus in B. C. 337. Under the empire the Aelian name became still more celebrated. It was the name of the emperor Hadrian, and consequently of the Antonines, whom he adopted. It is doubtful to which family P. Aelius belonged who was one of the first plebeian quaestors, B. C. 409. (Liv. 4.54.)
