Part 2

After this event there was contention for a long time between the
upper classes and the populace. Not only was the constitution at
this time oligarchical in every respect, but the poorer classes,
men, women, and children, were the serfs of the rich. They were
known as Pelatae and also as Hectemori, because they cultivated the
lands of the rich at the rent thus indicated. The whole
country was in
the hands of a few persons, and if the tenants failed to pay their
rent they were liable to be haled into slavery, and their children
with them. All loans secured upon the debtor's person, a custom
which prevailed until the time of Solon, who was the first to appear
as the champion of the people. But the hardest and bitterest part of
the constitution in the eyes of the masses was their state
of serfdom.
Not but what they were also discontented with every other feature of
their lot; for, to speak generally, they had no part nor share in
anything.

在此事件后，在上层社会与平民之间有一个争论已经很长时间了。不但此次寡头政治在个方面是宪法，而且更贫穷的阶层，男人、女人，孩子，是富人的奴隶。所周知的象Pelatae 及象Hectemori，因为他们按规定交租种植富人的土地。如果佃农没有交租，他们与他们的孩子一起应被强征为奴隶。直到作为冠军第一次出现的Solon时代流行的一个习惯。但在大众心目中，最艰难、最艰苦的章程部分是他们奴农的情况。但他们对他们分额所有其他特性不满意，一般来说，他们在任何方面，没有部分分额，也没有份额。
