The Athenian Constitution   

by them to
the people, and though they received their charge under an oligarchy
and handed in their accounts under a democracy, no one, either of
the party that had stayed in the city or of the exiles that had
returned from the Piraeus, brought any complaint against them. On
the contrary, Rhinon was immediately elected general on
account of his
conduct in this office.

Part 39

This reconciliation was effected in the archonship of Eucleides,
on the following terms. All persons who, having remained in the city
during the troubles, were now anxious to leave it, were to be free
to settle at Eleusis, retaining their civil rights and
possessing full
and independent powers of self-government, and with the free
enjoyment
of their own personal property. The temple at Eleusis should
be common
ground for both parties, and should be under the superintendence of
the Ceryces, and the Eumolpidae, according to primitive custom. The
settlers at Eleusis should not be allowed to enter Athens, nor the
people of Athens to enter Eleusis, except at the season of the
mysteries, when both parties should be free from these restrictions.
The secessionists should pay their share to the fund for the common
defence out of their revenues, just like all the other Athenians. If
any of the seceding party wished to take a house in Eleusis, the
people would help them to obtain the consent of the owner;
but if they
could not come to terms, they should appoint three valuers on either
side, and the owner should receive whatever price they
should appoint.
Of the inhabitants of Eleusis, those whom the secessionists wished
to remain should be allowed to do so. The list of those who
desired to
secede should be made up within ten days after the taking of
the oaths
in the case of persons already in the country, and their actual
departure should take place within twenty days; persons at
present out
of the country should have the same terms allowed to them after
their return. No one who settled at Eleusis should be capable of
holding any office in Athens until he should again register
himself on
the roll as a resident in the city. Trials for homicide,
including all
cases in which one party had either killed or wounded another,
should be conducted according to ancestral practice. There
should be a
general amnesty concerning past events towards all persons except
the Thirty, the Ten, the Eleven, and the magistrates in Piraeus; and
these too should be included if they should submit their accounts in
the usual way. Such accounts should be given by the magistrates in
Piraeus before a court of citizens rated in Piraeus, and by the
magistrates in the city before a court of those rated in the city.
On these terms those who wished to do so might secede. Each party
was to repay separately the money which it had borrowed for the war.
Part 40

When the reconciliation had taken place on these terms, those who
had fought on the side of the Thirty felt considerable
apprehensions, and a large number intended to secede. But as they
put off entering their names till the last moment, as people will
