[628]. Rhet. ii. 4. 9. 1381a, where the word αὐτουργοί is used; cf. above on Euripides.

[629]. Cf. above on value, and N. Eth. v. 8-9. 1133a5-18.

[630]. Pol. vii (vi). 6. 1320a38 ff.; cf. p. [92], n. 6.

[631]. i. 12. 1259b1 ff.

[632]. 1252b1 ff.; cf. Adam’s note to Rep. 370B; Susemihl and Hicks’s note to Pol. 1252b3, for an exception to the rule (De part. Anim. iv. 6. 11. 683a22). ἀλλ᾽ ὅπου μὴ ἐνδέχεται καταχρῆται τῷ αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πλείω ἔργα.

[634]. Pol. 1261a37-39; 1328b ff. Fontpertuis (op. cit., p. 359) accounts for the comparative superficiality of the Greek theory of labor by the fact that their political constitution diminished its importance, but cf. our introduction. Capitalistic employment of free labor was probably not extensive.
