Note 151 — Chapter II · THE SOCIAL COMPOSITION OF THE PRIMITIVE POPULUS

This is illustrated, for instance, by a law quoted by Philochorus, in Müller, Frag. Hist. Graec. i. 399. 94: Τοὺς δὲ φράτορας ἐπάναγκες δέχεσθαι καὶ τοὺς ὀργεῶνας καὶ τοὺς ὁμογάλακτας, οὺς γεννῆτας καλοῦμεν (“The members of the phratry must receive the orgeones as well as the homogalaktes, whom we call gennetae”). This fact is now too well known to need further proof; cf. Gilbert, Constitutional Antiquities of Sparta and Athens, 148 f.; Thumser, Griechische Staatsaltertümer, 324 f.
