2. ἔταξαν—cf. Ath. Pol. c. 23 τοὺς φόρους οὗτος (Aristides) ἦν ὁ τάξας ταῖς πόλεσιν τοὑς πρώτους ἔτει τρίτῳ μετὰ τὴν ἐν Σαλαμῖνι ναυμαχίαν—in 478-77. Trans. ‘assessed the contributions both of the states that were to provide money and of those,’ etc.—not ‘fixed which of the states,’ which overlooks the technical use of τάσσειν, rate.
