_Pol._ ii. 8. Hippodamas the Pythagorean, cited by _Stob. Flor._ xliii
(xli). 92 f., should not be confused with him. The former wrote in the
Dorian dialect, and differs materially in his ideas. His three classes
are rulers, soldiers, and all laborers, including merchants and
farmers. He says nothing of the division of the land or who shall own
it, but provides that the third class furnish a living to the rest.
But cf. Robin, _op. cit._, p. 228, n. 1, who identifies them.
Footnote 293:
_Pol._ 1267_b_31-33. Cf. Cornford’s visionary article (_Class.
Quart._, VI [1912], 246 ff.), in which he seeks to prove that the
tripartite psychology of Plato’s _Republic_ is an inference from this
triple division of society. Cf. a similar idea of Pohlenz, _Aus Platos
Werdezeit_ (1913), pp. 229 ff.
Footnote 294:
ii. 8. 1267_b_33-36.
Footnote 295:
1268_a_34 ff.
Footnote 296:
So Souchon, _op. cit._, p. 141, who makes him an individualist.
Footnote 297:
_Pol._ ii. 7.
Footnote 298:
1266_a_37 f.
Footnote 299:
1266_a_40: φησὶ γὰρ δεῖν ἴσας εἶναι τὰς κτήσεις τῶν πολιτῶν;
1266_b_31-33, to be realized in an old state, partly by allowing only
the rich to give dowries and only the poor to receive them;
1266_b_2-4.
Footnote 300:
Ar. (1267_b_10) criticizes him for this.
Footnote 301:
1267_b_15; cf. Poehlmann, _op. cit._, II, 7 f.
Footnote 302:
1266_a_37 f.; 1267_a_1 f. Aristotle’s account of these writers, as of
Plato, is incomplete and unsatisfactory.
Footnote 303:
_Rep._ 415A; cf. above, pp. 48 ff. on this and the following note.
Footnote 304:
420B-C.
Footnote 305:
416D-E, 458C; cf. also _Critias_ 112B-C, where common houses, common
meals, and the prohibition of gold and silver are presented as an
ideal.
Footnote 306:
457D.
Footnote 307:
462B-C.
Footnote 308:
451D-455D. Poehlmann points to this doctrine of the _Ebenbürtigkeit_
of women as an advanced ground even for Christianity.
Footnote 309:
451E.
Footnote 310:
Guiraud (_La Prop. fonc._, p. 578) distinguishes these elements in
Plato’s system, _Republic_ and _Laws_: exclusive right of property
vested in the state; use of land granted to a part of the citizens;
distribution of the product among all the citizens; obligation to
work, tempered by equality of service; inequality of classes, and
equality of men in each class; heredity of profession, corrected by
selection of talents.
Footnote 311:
