Greek Text: οἱ ταμίαι τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς εἰσὶ μὲν δέκα, κληροῦται δ᾽ εἷς ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς, ἐκ πεντακοσιομεδίμνων κατὰ τὸν Σόλωνος νόμον （ἔτι γὰρ ὁ νόμος κύριός ἐστιν）, ἄρχει δ᾽ ὁ λαχὼν κἂν πάνυ πένης ᾖ.

English Text: there are the ten Treasurers of Athena, elected one from a tribe by lot, from the Five-hundred-bushel class, according to the law of Solon (which is still in force), and the one on whom the lot falls holds office even though he is quite a poor man
