_Pace_ Aristot. _Ath. Pol._ 22 (ὅτι Πεισίστρατος δημαγωγὸς καὶ
στρατηγὸς ὢν τύραννος κατέστη).
Footnote 189:
Cp. Plut. _Solon_, 29, “helping the needy” of Peisistratus when first
suspected by Solon of aiming at tyranny: cp. also Aristot. _Pol._ VII.
(V.), 1305_a_ (tr. Welldon), “the ground of this confidence being
their detestation of the wealthy classes. This was the case at Athens
with Peisistratus in consequence of his feud with the (wealthy landed)
proprietors of the plain.”
Footnote 190:
Hdt. I. 64. Grote’s translation, III. (ed. 1888), p. 329, n. 4, which
makes the money come from Athens and the mercenaries from Thrace, is
highly improbable. Amphipolis, the chief fifth century city on the
lower Strymon, is described by Thucydides, IV. 108, as useful to
Athens “from its revenues of money.” Grote’s objections to making
Peisistratus a Thracian mining magnate are met below.

Guiraud, _La Main-d’Œuvre dans l’Ancienne Grèce_, pp. 30, 31; cp. von
Fritze, _Zeits. f. Num._ XX. (1897), p. 154, who notes that Maronea,
the name of the place in the Laurium district mined in the time of
Peisistratus, is also the name of a town in Thrace opposite Thasos
(said by Philochorus, _F.H.G._, I. p. 404, to have been alluded to by
Archilochus; cp. Hom. _Od._ IX. 197). E. Curtius (quoted _ibid._)
regards the Attic Maronea as having been named after the Thracian.
