Notes
1. F. Wilhelm (Rhein. Mus., XVII, No. 2 [1915], 163, n. 2) says: “Eine Geschichte der theoretischen Behandlung der Oekonomik bei den Griechen ist noch zu schreiben.” The present work was undertaken in the year 1911.
2. Cf. Zimmern, Greek Commonwealth, pp. 211 ff.; but the statement on p. 222 is extreme: “where competition and unemployment are unknown terms, where hardly anyone is working precariously for money wages or salary.”
3. Cf. Roscher, Ansichten der Volkswirtschaft (1878), I, chap. i, p. 7; Ar. Pol. 1259b18-21.
4. Cf. Plato Rep. 498A; Xen. Econ., a treatise on household management; Ar. Pol. i. p. 3, on the divisions of οἰκονομία; chap. 8, on whether finance (χρηματιστική) is a part of οἰκονομική; pseudo-Ar. Economica; cf. infra, p. 63, nn. 5 and 6; p. 82, n. 1; p. 128, for fuller discussion.
