Note 3 — Chapter I · THE EARLIEST CONSTITUTION OF ROME

So Servius Tullius is said, according to one account, to have divided the territory of Rome into twenty-six pagi. Pagus is δῆμος in Greek (Festus p. 72), but this proves little as to its origin; it is the pagus as part of a state that is thus translated. The δῆμος or δᾶμος in Greece had often been (as in Elis) a self-existent community.
