ague paid
is clear from the fact that the assessments of places where cleruchs
were settled immediately went down considerably (cf. the Periclean
cleruchies, 450-445); indeed, this follows from their status as Athenian
citizens, which is emphasized by the fact that they retained their
membership of deme and tribe. In internal government the cleruchs
adopted the Boul[=e] and Assembly system of Athens itself; so we read of
Polemarchs, Archons Eponymi, Agoranomi, Strategi, in various places.
With a measure of local self-government there was also combined a
certain central authority (e.g. in the matter of jurisdiction, some
case being tried by the Nautodicae at Athens); in fact we may assume
that the more important cases, particularly those between a cleruch and
a citizen at home, were tried before the Athenian dicasts. In a few
cases, the cleruchs, e.g. in the case of Lesbos (427), were apparently
allowed to remain in Athens receiving rent for their allotments from the
original Lesbian owners (Thuc. iii. 50); but this represents the
perversion of the original idea of the cleruchy to a system of reward
and punishment.

See G. Gilbert, _Constitutional Antiquities of Athens and Sparta_
(Eng. trans., London, 1895), but note that Brea, wrongly quoted as an
example, is not a cleruchy but a colony (Hicks and Hill, 41 [29]);
A.H.J. Greenidge, _Handbook of Greek Constitutional Antiquities_
(London, 1896); for the Periclean cleruchs see PERICLES; DELIAN
LEAGUE.

FOOTNOTE:

[1] It seems (Strabo, p. 635) that similar colonies were sent out by
the Milesians, e.g. to Leros.
