5 Who are the good among the Arcadians and the Spartans?

5 When the Spartans had come to terms with the Tegeans, they made a treaty and set up in common a pillar by the Alpheius. On this, among other matters, was inscribed: The Messenians must be expelled from the country; it shall not be lawful to make men good. Cf. χρηστὲ χαῖρε on Greek tombstones. Aristotle,Frag. 592 (V. Rose); cf. 277 b-c, supra>. then, in explaining this, states that it means that no one shall be put to death because of assistance given to the Spartan party in Tegea.

6 Who is he that selects barley (krithologos) among the Opuntians?

6 For sacrifices of very ancient origin most of the Greeks used to employ barley, which the citizens offered as first-fruits of the harvest. Accordingly they called the officer who presided at the sacrifices and brought these first-fruits the Barley-selector. They had two priests: one appointed for sacrifices to the gods, the other for sacrifices to the spirits.

7 What were the floating clouds?

7 They used to call clouds floating which particularly threatened rain and were in constant motion, as Theophrastus has stated in the fourth book of his Meteorology. The passage reads thus: Since also these floating clouds and these compact clouds, which are immovable and very white in colour, exhibit a certain difference of substance which is filled neither with water nor with wind.
