226 Πάντα ὀκτὼ, Photius in v. Suidas (in Schott’s Prov. XI. 64.)
Apostol. XV. 67.
227 Hesychius. According to Isaac Vossius Κυνόφυλοι. The Corinthian
κυνῆ, Herod. IV. 180. was perhaps at an early period the peculiar
dress of this class. See above, ch. 3. § 3.
228 Thus the harbour Lechæum was a place of refuge for maltreated slaves
as well as Munychia, Hesych. in Λέχαιον.
229 Steph. Byz. in Χίος, Pollux ubi sup. Etym. Gud. p. 165. 53. where
θῆτες, γυμνῆτες (for γυμνήσιοι), πενέσται, πελάται (erroneously for
κλαρῶται), κορυνηφόροι, and καλλικύριοι are classed together.
230 See above, p. 38, note o. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote
to “lining of fur,” starting “Pollux, VII. 4. 68.”]
231 Herod. V. 68. where, however, it is difficult to believe that this
fourth tribe was not established until after the time of
Cleisthenes. The tribe which in Sicyon was called Λιγιαλεῖς was
perhaps in Phlius known by the title of Χθονοφυλὴ, the mythical name
of the daughter of Sicyon, and the mother or wife of Phlias, Pausan.
II. 63. 12. 6. Schol. Apoll. Rhod. I. 45.
232 The able historian Thirlwall thinks it more probable that
Cleisthenes united the three Doric tribes in a single tribe, and
that the Hyatæ, Oneatæ, and Chœreatæ, were the three country tribes,
_tribus rusticæ_, which Cleisthenes had admitted into the dominant
community. But a measure of this kind appears to be unexampled in
the history of the Greek constitutions, and could hardly have been
confounded by Herodotus with a mere change of names. It may be here
mentioned that the temple of Zeus _the Enumerator_, in Sicyon, was
referred to the establishment of the tribes, Bekker’s Anecd. Gr.
vol. II. p. 790. Σικυώνιοι κατὰ φυλὰς ἑαυτοὺς τάξαντες καὶ
ἀριθμήσαντες Διὸς Στοιχέως ἱερὸν ἱδρύσαντο.
233 See, _e.g._, concerning the κληροδοσία of Cnidos, Diodor. V. 53.
That the lots were even apportioned in the mother-country may be
seen from what occurred at the founding of Syracuse, book I. ch. 6.
§ 7. Compare the account of the colonization of Epidamnus, Thucyd.
I. 27.
234 This, _e.g._, was the case in the Corinthian Apollonia, Herod. IX.
93. Aristot. Pol. IV. 3. 8. So also in Thera, _Orchomenos_, p. 337.
235 Thucyd. VI. 17. of the cities of Sicily, ὄχλοις τε γὰρ ξυμμίκτοις
πολυανδροῦσιν, &c.
236 The clearest instance, although not of a Doric city, is in Thucyd.
V. 4. The Leontini had created a large number of new citizens, who,
partly forming the popular party, pressed for a redivision of the
lands (ἀναδασμός). Upon this, the nobles entirely expelled the
commons. See below, ch. 9. § 15.
