Histories

After travelling over the whole country and finding only a few such men, they assembled the people immediately upon their return to the city and appointed as rulers of the state those whose lands they had found well tilled. This they did in the belief that these men were likely to take as good care of public affairs as they had of their own, and they ordained that the rest of the Milesians who had been at feud should obey these men.

It was in this way that the Parians made peace in Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus, but now these cities began to bring trouble upon Ionia (region (general)), Europe Ionia. Certain men of substance who had been banished by the common people, went in exile to Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus.
