After that, the proposal was at length offered without concealment that no one should any longer hold office under the constitution as at present established or receive a salary, and that they should choose five men as presidents, and these should choose one hundred, and each of the hundred three others in addition to himself; then these, being four hundred, should enter the senate-chamber and govern as they should judge best, being clothed with full powers, and they should convene the Five Thousand whenever it seemed to them advisable.cf. 8.65.3. There had been talk of limiting the franchise to 5000, and it was resolved at this same assembly to appoint 100 men to draw up a list of the 5000 (Aristot. Ἀθ. Πολ., ch. xxix. ad fin.). But the list was never published. See 8.92.11 and Ἀθ. Πολ. ch. xxxii. For the somewhat divergent account of Aristotle, see Aristot. Ἀθ. Πολ. xxix.- xxxii.
