Part 10

These seem to be the democratic features of his laws; but in
addition, before the period of his legislation, he carried
through his
abolition of debts, and after it his increase in the standards of
weights and measures, and of the currency. During his administration
the measures were made larger than those of Pheidon, and the mina,
which previously had a standard of seventy drachmas, was
raised to the
full hundred. The standard coin in earlier times was the two-drachma
piece. He also made weights corresponding with the coinage,
sixty-three minas going to the talent; and the odd three minas were
distributed among the staters and the other values.

这些好象是其法律的民主特性。但另外在法律制订之前，他完成废除债务，及在此之后他扩大在重量、度量、货币方面的标准。在其管理期间，度量比Pheidon时更扩大，货币先前70德拉克马的标准的迈纳，增加到整百。在早前的本位币，是一个为2个德拉克马。他也使度量与货币一致。63迈纳成为一个塔兰特。奇数的3迈纳分成金银币与其他价值。
