organization he replaced, is clearly absurd.

[3] Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (_Arist. und Athen_, pp. 149-150)
suggests [Greek: dekacha], "in ten batches," instead of [Greek:
deka].

[4] It should be observed that there are other translations of the
difficult phrase [Greek: xenous kai doulous metoikous].

[5] _Colacretae_ were very ancient Athenian magistrates; either (1)
those who "cut up the joints" in the Prytaneum ([Greek: kola,
keiro]), or (2) those who "collected the joints" ([Greek: kola,
ageiro]) which were left over from public sacrifices, and consumed in
the Prytaneum. These officials were again important in the time of
Aristophanes (_Wasps_, 693, 724; _Birds_, 1541), and they presided
over the payment of the dicasts instituted by Pericles. They are not
mentioned, though they may have existed, after 403 B.C. At Sicyon
also magistrates of this name are found.

[6] It is, however, more probable that the right reading of the
passage is [Greek: deka ippeis] instead of [Greek: duo], which would
give a cavalry force in early Athens of 480, a reasonable number in
proportion to the total fighting strength.

CLEITARCHUS, one of the historians of Alexander the Great, son of
Deinon, also an historian, was possibly a native of Egypt, or at least
spent a considerable time at the court of Ptolemy Lagus. Quintilian
(_Instit._ x. i. 74) credits him with more ability than trustworthiness,
and Cicero (_Brutus_, 11) accuses him of giving a fictitious account of
the death of Themistocles. But there is no doubt that his history was
very popular, and much used by Diodorus Siculus, Quintus Curtius, Justin
and Plutarch, and the authors of the Alexander romances. His unnatural
and exaggerated style became proverbial.

The fragments, some thirty in number, chiefly preserved in Aelian and
Strabo, will be found in C. Mueller's _Scriptores Rerum Alexandri
Magni_ (in the Didot _Arrian_, 1846); monographs by C. Raun, _De
Clitarcho Diodori, Curtii, Justini auctore_ (1868), and F. Reuss,
"Hellenistische Beitraege" in _Rhein. Mus._ lxiii. (1908), pp. 58-78.

CLEITHRAL (Gr. [Greek: kleithron], an enclosed or shut-up place), an
architectural term applied to a covered Greek temple, in
contradistinction to _hypaethral_, which designates one that is
uncovered; the roof of a cleithral temple completely covers it.
