Part 6

As soon as he was at the head of affairs, Solon liberated
the people
once and for all, by prohibiting all loans on the security of the
debtor's person: and in addition he made laws by which he cancelled
all debts, public and private. This measure is commonly called the
Seisachtheia [= removal of burdens], since thereby the people had
their loads removed from them. In connexion with it some persons try
to traduce the character of Solon. It so happened that, when he was
about to enact the Seisachtheia, he communicated his
intention to some
members of the upper class, whereupon, as the partisans of
the popular
party say, his friends stole a march on him; while those who wish to
attack his character maintain that he too had a share in the fraud
himself. For these persons borrowed money and bought up a
large amount
of land, and so when, a short time afterwards, all debts were
cancelled, they became wealthy; and this, they say, was the origin
of the families which were afterwards looked on as having
been wealthy
from primeval times. However, the story of the popular party
is by far
the most probable. A man who was so moderate and public-spirited in
all his other actions, that when it was within his power to put his
fellow-citizens beneath his feet and establish himself as tyrant, he
preferred instead to incur the hostility of both parties by placing
his honour and the general welfare above his personal
aggrandisement, is not likely to have consented to defile
his hands by
such a petty and palpable fraud. That he had this absolute power is,
in the first place, indicated by the desperate condition the
country; moreover, he mentions it himself repeatedly in his
poems, and
it is universally admitted. We are therefore bound to consider this
accusation to be false.

仅此一次 , 藉由禁止在安全上的所有贷款那
债务人的人: 而且除此之外他作了他取消的法律
所有的债务，民众和二等兵。 这尺寸普遍被叫做那

控告是错误的。
