Note 228 — Chapter VI · THE KING.
Reading edition
The whole state may possibly consist only of the predominant tribe, as Dorians or Ionians, or Anglosaxons: the rest of the population of the country may be perioecian as were the inhabitants of Laconia, and the British. The ruling tribe itself may have distinctions of rank; as for instance the Hypomeiones among the Spartans, the Ceorlas among the Anglosaxons.
