Note 194 — Chapter IV · LANDED POSSESSION. THE EÐEL, HÍD OR ALOD.
Reading edition
οἶκον μὲν πρώτιστα, γυναῖκα τε, βοῦν τ’ ἀροτῆρα.
Cited in Aristot. Polit. bk. i. cap. 1.
The land of a fullborn Spartan may have been somewhat less than the Saxon hide: but let those who think these amounts too small, remember the two jugera (under two acres) which formed the haeredium of a Roman patrician.
