Abstract

This article is a short response to a recent contribution by Dietze-Mager in Erga-Logoi 10.2. There, within a larger discussion of the reliability of the Aristotelian Athenaion Politeia as a historical source, Dietze-Mager argues against our proposed identification of the Athenian nomothetai with a special session of the Assembly. In response, we start with a concise summary of our interpretation of the constitutional stages in the Athenaion Politeia in light of the socio-economic methodology of Politics IV, and clarify the role of Aristotle’s political theory in our reconstruction. We then provide a close reading of some key evidence about the identity of the Athenian nomothetai (particularly Aeschin. III 38-40). We demonstrate that Dietze-Mager’s proposed reading of the relevant passage is linguistically and syntactically problematic, arguing that the only possible interpretation of the relevant procedure as described at Aeschin. III 38-40 involves identifying the nomothetai with a special lawmaking session of the Assembly.

再一次讲亚里士多德和雅典人的身份。对Gertrud Dietze-Mager的回应
本文是对Dietze-Mager最近在Erga-Logoi 10.2上发表的一篇文章的简短回应。在关于亚里士多德的《雅典政体论》作为历史来源的可靠性的更大讨论中,dieze - mager反对我们提出的雅典政体论与议会特别会议的认同。作为回应,我们首先根据《政治学》第四章的社会经济方法论,简要总结我们对《雅典政体》中宪法阶段的解释,并澄清亚里士多德的政治理论在我们的重建中所起的作用。然后,我们提供了一些关于雅典诺莫忒泰(特别是埃斯钦)身份的关键证据的仔细阅读。三世38-40)。我们证明了Dietze-Mager对相关段落的建议阅读在语言学和句法上是有问题的,并认为对Aeschin所描述的相关程序的唯一可能的解释。第三38-40涉及通过大会的特别立法会议确定国家。

期刊介绍: Erga-Logoi is a peer-reviewed open-access journal of ancient history, literature, law and culture, as broadly conceived in geographical and chronological terms. Evoking Thucydides'' methodological exordium (although in that context the opposition obviously has a different value), the name of the Journal was chosen to reflect its intention of looking at the ancient world paying attention to both “facts” (historical events, artistic production, material culture) and “words” (literary, historical, legal production in its oral and written forms). On these bases, the Journal embraces a unified approach to the ancient world, rejecting sectional perspectives for an interdisciplinary focus, reflecting these complex articulated civilizations. The Journal, published every six months, is open to contributions of a historical, philological, literary, archaeological, artistic, and legal nature. It is multilingual, thereby aiming to foster the development of international debate on the ancient world and its legacy.
