1Aristotles Politics on time and constitutions
- Arist. Pol. III.8.7
- In the case of a person becoming exceptionally
distinguished for virtue, it would certainly not
be said that such a man must be banished and got
out of the way yet nevertheless no doubt men
would not think that they ought to rule over such
a man, for that would be the same as if they
claimed to rule over Zeus, . It remains
therefore, and this seems to be the natural
course, for all to obey such a man, gladly, so
that men of this sort may be kings in cities for
all time -
- Arist. Pol. II.1.5
- It is reciprocal equivalence that keeps a state
in being. This principle is essential even among
citizens who are free and equal for they cannot
hold office simultaneously, but must do so for a
year at a time or for some other appointed
period.

9Delos and Rome Strabo X.5.4 Although Delos was so
famous, yet it became still more so, and
flourished after the destruction of Corinth by
the Romans. For the merchants resorted thither,
induced by the immunities of the temple, and the
convenience of its harbour. It lies favourably
for those who are sailing from Italy and Greece
to Asia. The general festival held there serves
the purposes of commerce, and the Romans
particularly frequented it even before the
destruction of Corinth.
