M157 Further application of the idea of family land.
M158 Two methods of occupation of land: (1) by owner himself; (2) by
subject population.
335 Cf. _Thuc._ ii. 16 for Attica. Such are the numerous small farmers
who appear in the plays of Aristophanes.
_ 336 Athen._ vi. 85. Βοιωτῶν (φησὶν Ἀρχέμαχος) τῶν τὴν Ἀρναίαν
κατοικισάντων οἱ μὴ ἀπάραντες εἰς τὴν Βοιωτίαν, ἀλλ᾽
ἐμφιλοχωρήσαντες παρέδωκαν ἑαυτοὺς τοῖς Θετταλοῖς δουλεύειν καθ᾽
ὁμολογίας, ἐφ᾽ ῴ οὔτε ἐξάξουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς χώρας οὔτε
ἀποκτενοῦσιν, αὐτοὶ δὲ τὴν χώραν αὐτοῖς ἐργαζόμενοι τὰς συντάξεις
ἀποδώσουσιν. _Cf._ Strabo, xii. 3, 4.
M159 At Gortyn on extinction of citizen-family the κλαρῶται inherited.
337 Gortyn. v. 25. αἱ δὲ μὴ εἶεν ἐπιβάλλοντες τᾶς ϝοικίας οἵτινες κ᾽
ἴωντι ὁ κλᾶρος, τούτονς ἔκεν τὰ κρήματα. The words τᾶς ϝοικίας
should be taken with οἵτινες, &c, rather than with the preceding
words. οἵτινες κ᾽ ἴωντι ὁ κλᾶρος is equivalent to οἱ κλαρῶται.
See Dareste, &c, _Inscript. Jurid. Gr._ p. 463.
M160 Similar twofold tenure in the Athenian κληρουχίαι.
M161 Examples in Salamis,
_ 338 Mittheil. Inst. Ath._ ix. p. 117. The original number of κληροῦχοι
in this case was apparently five hundred.
M162 in Lesbos,
339 Thuc. iii. 50.
340 κατεκληρούχησαν.
341 ἐμίσθωσαν.
342 Aelian, _V. II._ vi. I. _Cf._ Herod, v. 77 and vi. 100.
M163 Each κλῆρος therefore supported two families.
343 Smith’s _Dicty. of Antiquities_, s.v. _colonia_.
344 Bekker, _Charicles_, p. 218.
345 Ridgeway, _Origin of Currency_, &c., p. 324.
346 The ordinary Athenian dicast is supposed to have subsisted largely
upon his pay of three obols or a half-drachma _per diem_.
M164 The same double ownership in leases “for ever.”
347 Dareste, &c, _Recueil Inscr. Grec._ p. 256 xiii.
348 Cauer, _Delectus_, § 263.
Συνθέκα[ι] Θέρον[ι κ]αἰχμάνορι πὰρ τᾶρ γᾶρ τᾶρ ἐν Σαλαμόναι, πλέθρον
ὀπτὸ καὶ δέκα. Φάρεν κριθᾶν μανασίος δύο ταὶ ϝίκατι Ἀλφιόιο μενόρ;
αἰ δὲ λίποι, λυσάστο τό διφυίο. Πεπάστο τόν πάντα χρόνον.
349 Dareste, &c, _Inscr. Jurid. Grec._ xiii. quater. (Mylasa in Karia.
Second century B.C.) _summarised:_—
