Greek Text: αὗται μὲν οὖν αἱ ἀρχαὶ κληρωταί…νῦν δὲ κληροῦσιν θεσμοθέτας μὲν ἓξ καὶ γραμματέα τούτοις, ἔτι δ᾽ ἄρχοντα καὶ βασιλέα καὶ πολέμαρχον, κατὰ μέρος ἐξ ἑκάστης φυλῆς.

English Text: These offices, then, are elected by lot...but now the six Lawgivers and their clerk are elected by lot, and also the Archon, King and War-lord, from each tribe in turn.
