phil. Wochenschr., 1891, pp. 707/8, has called attention. Cf. Kuhler’s re-
marks on him in Herm., 1892, p.68 sqq. Of Aristotle’s own age we read,

* That not all present at the Ecclesia received pay is shewn by Arist.,
Eccl., 185 sqq. That those who came too late did not get it may be con-
cluded from lines 289 sqq. Line 380 seems to suggest a certain sum set
aside for each Ecclesia. Cf. Wuerz, de mercede Eccl. Atheniens., Berlin, 1878,
84 sqq. See also vol. 2, 810, 2.

probable, and is confirmed by the inscription cited on p. 289.1 Cf. Benndorf
in Zisch. f. d. ostr. Gymn., 1875, p. 597 sqq., who, however, is opposed by
Wuerz, p. 34, and rightly as regards payment in kind. It is true that so
far it has not been possible to prove such a aipBodov. Against Benndorf,
who deals with this, pp. 601/2, see Frinkel in Sallets numismat. Zischr., 3,
884; Wuerz 86, 38.
