οὐ μὴν ὅ γε δῆμος ἐφʼ ἑαυτῷ τὴν αἵρεσιν ἐποίησεν, ἀλλʼ ἀπέδωκε τοῖς βουλευταῖς τὴν διάγνωσιν ὡς ἀγαπήσων ὁποτέραν ἂν ἐκεῖνοι δοκιμάσωσι τῶν πολιτειῶν· τοῖς δὲ βασιλικὴν μὲν ἐδόκει καταστήσασθαι πολιτείαν ἅπασι, περὶ δὲ τοῦ μέλλοντος ἄρξειν στάσις ἐνέπιπτεν ἐξ ὁποτέρας ἔσται τάξεως. οἱ μὲν γὰρ ἐκ τῶν ἀρχαίων βουλευτῶν ᾤοντο δεῖν ἀποδειχθῆναι τὸν ἐπιτροπεύσοντα τὴν πόλιν, οἱ δʼ ἐκ τῶν ὕστερον ἐπεισαχθέντων, οὓς νεωτέρους ἐκάλουν.
