Psephos retained sources

Primary witness: Aristotelis Atheniensium Respublica, edited by Frederic G.
Kenyon, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1920. University of Connecticut Libraries copy,
Internet Archive identifier aristotelisathen00aris. The scanned copy is a later
reprint: its imprint says FIRST PUBLISHED 1920 and lists reprints in 1925,
1937, 1951 and 1958. Here 1920 identifies the edition, not the printing date
of the scanned physical volume. The transcription follows the retained pages.

kenyon-p67.jpg and kenyon-p68.jpg are complete printed pages LXVII and
LXVIII, obtained from the Internet Archive JP2 page-image service at scale 1, then
rescaled proportionally to a maximum width of 1800 pixels and JPEG quality 90.
Archive JP2 leaves 81 and 82 correspond to PDF pages 81 and 82.
The derived PDF omits an earlier scan, so its zero-based object index is not
the same as the original JP2 filename index. The printed page headings were
visually checked on both retained images. The ancient text and this
1920 edition are public domain in the United States. The page images preserve
the context, lacunae, editorial supplements and critical apparatus. Image
rendering changes scale and compression; it does not crop or alter the text.
The selected Greek was transcribed from these images. Square brackets in the
printed main text are retained. Sentence punctuation, apostrophe glyphs and
capitalization at excerpt openings are normalized. New close English and word
notes are by Anthony Mercer, MIT license. The work is conventionally attributed
to Aristotle; its individual authorship is debated. It describes late fourth
century BCE institutions, not all Athenian history.

Its transcription has variant readings and supplies in these passages and is
not the workshop's exact transcription of the retained print. In particular,
the λα[βὼν ἅμα] and [αὐλίσκον] supplies in 68.4, and the double-bracketed
clause at the end of
the counting excerpt, follow the printed witness, not a flattening of the XML.

Retained as the Wikimedia 1280-pixel thumbnail, rescaled and recompressed by
Wikimedia; no crop or recoloring by this project. The photographer's caption
dates the objects to around 300 BCE. That date is attributed, not an independent
archaeological determination by this workshop. The photograph is separate from
the original schematic drawings and is not presented as a physical replica.
