270. 1r 61'spov . . Kurd. cruppopfias elvedae? pere, 'formerly
you had oards for taxes' (K. ), 'you used to pay the extra-
ordinary war-tax by companies. ' Demosthenes is comparing
the organisation of the two parties in the Assembly with the
organisation for the payment of the war-tax. At the head of
each party was an orator, and, subordinate to him, a general,
whose acts were defended by the orator in the Assembly. The
orator and the general are compared to the fiyspo'w and
e? 'rrtpekq'rfis, or 'chairman' and 'superintendent' respectively,
of each of the numerous groups of citizens which formed what
was known as a eupnopla for the purposes of the war-tax. The
Assembly as a whole is regarded as divided into two vast
auaaoplaz. Attached to the orator and general, and roughly
corresponding to the 300 wealthiest citizens in the arrange-
ments for the war-tax, was a bod of partisans who applauded
the speeches of the leaders of t eir party. The rest of the
citizens were attached to the one set or the other, like the
ordinary members of the Symmories, without voice or influence
in the direction of affairs (cp. Heslop). wpdrepov does not
imply that this organisation of the war-tax had been abolished,
but only that the state had for some time past given up levying
a tax which weighed heavily on a majority of the citizens.
By an arrangement dating from the archonship of Nausiniclls (378-7 3. 0. )
the citizens, who were all bound to pay the war-tax, were divided into a
number of napopl'at, or boards, each representing an approximately equal
part of the entire wealth of the state. The distribution of the citizens
into a-vppoplat was managed by the or 0. 117an (89 ? 8). The war-tax was
levied on a graduated scale, which was iighest for the wealthiest citizens,
who were placed in the first class, and was lower in proportion for the
three other classes. The 300 wealthiest citizens formed the first of the
four classes (Isaeus 6 ? 60). These assessment-classes correspond to the
four rim of the Solonian constitution, and must not be confounded with
the avppopial or boards formed for organising the payment of the war-tax.
In the case of the war-tax the number of the wppopiai, and the number
of citizens in each, is unknown.
When a war-tax was decreed by the Ecclesia, the amount required was
first apportioned among the various Symmories. Each Symmory then
drew up a list, in which the payments demanded ofleach member of the
Symmory were calculated according to the assessment of that person's
property (Harpocr. s. v. Sie? ypaapa). The war-tax was collected in ac-
cordance with these lists, and, for some time after the archonship of
Nausinieus (378-7 3. 0. ), this was done directly by the state (22 ? 54,

auaaoplaz. Attached to the orator and general, and roughly
corresponding to the 300 wealthiest citizens in the arrange-
ments for the war-tax, was a bod of partisans who applauded
the speeches of the leaders of t eir party. The rest of the
citizens were attached to the one set or the other, like the
ordinary members of the Symmories, without voice or influence
in the direction of affairs (cp. Heslop). wpdrepov does not
imply that this organisation of the war-tax had been abolished,
but only that the state had for some time past given up levying
a tax which weighed heavily on a majority of the citizens.
By an arrangement dating from the archonship of Nausiniclls (378-7 3. 0. )
the citizens, who were all bound to pay the war-tax, were divided into a
number of napopl'at, or boards, each representing an approximately equal
part of the entire wealth of the state. The distribution of the citizens
into a-vppoplat was managed by the or 0. 117an (89 ? 8). The war-tax was
levied on a graduated scale, which was iighest for the wealthiest citizens,
who were placed in the first class, and was lower in proportion for the
three other classes. The 300 wealthiest citizens formed the first of the
four classes (Isaeus 6 ? 60). These assessment-classes correspond to the
four rim of the Solonian constitution, and must not be confounded with
the avppopial or boards formed for organising the payment of the war-tax.
In the case of the war-tax the number of the wppopiai, and the number
of citizens in each, is unknown.
When a war-tax was decreed by the Ecclesia, the amount required was
first apportioned among the various Symmories. Each Symmory then
drew up a list, in which the payments demanded ofleach member of the
Symmory were calculated according to the assessment of that person's
property (Harpocr. s. v. Sie? ypaapa). The war-tax was collected in ac-
cordance with these lists, and, for some time after the archonship of
Nausinieus (378-7 3. 0. ), this was done directly by the state (22 ? 54,
