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,
24 ? 166, Lys. 29 ? 9). In 362-1 13. 0. we find the earliest mention of a plan

for facilitating the collection of the tax. In that year the Council are
described as drawing up a list of citizens who are required to pay the tax
in advance for the members of the same deme ([50] ? 8). This plan was,
however, soon abandoned in favour of one by which the tax was paid in
advance by the 300 wealthiest citizens ([42] ? 25), who afterwards recovered
the sums due from the poorer members ([50] ? 9).
In 357--6, b the decree of Periander, the system of Symmories was
further applie to the trierarchy ([47] ? ? '21, 44). The 1200 wealthiest
citizens in the Synnnories for the war-tax were then divided into 20
Symmories of 60 members each for the purposes of the trierarch y (14 ? 17,
21 ? 155). Each Symmory represented an approximately equal part of the
total assessed wealth of the 1200; and the 300 wealthiest citizens were
distributed equally among the 20 Symmories, 15 in each (Dinarchus 1 ? 42,
Hyper. ap. Harpocr. s. v. a'unnopia). In the Symmories for the trierarchy,
as in those for the war-tax, the wealthiest member of each Symmory was
called the fiqu'w (18 ? ? 102, 812). Corresponding to the 20 1', spam,
but subordinate to them, were the 20 e'mpehrrai ([47] ? ? 21, 22, 24), who
aided the arpa-myoi in apportioning the duties of the trierarchy among the
members of the Symmories. As it was the wealthiest members in each
Symmory who made all the arrangements and apportioned the services
required of each individual, these wealthy individuals soon began to
arrange the burdens in such a way that they themselves escaped payment
as far as possible (18 ? ? 102 f, 21 ? 155). To remove this abuse Demosthenes,
who had proposed a scheme of reform as early as 354 B. C. (14 ? ? 16 f), carried
a law in 340-39 which, while leaving the Symmories intact, ensured that
the trierarchic burdens imposed on every individual should be in strict
accordance with his assessment. The equipment of two ships was now
fixed as the maximum duty that could be demanded of any one. Any one
whose resources were not equal to equipping even a single ship had to
share the duty with others in proportion to his own wealth (Gilbert pp.
368~74 Engl. ed. ) Cp. Bocckh P'ubl. Econ. bk. iv 0. 9 p. 678 Lamb, Sauppe
