      If - as is commonly believed - they were not revised until 307/6, a significant discrepancy between population and bouleutic quota must have developed in the course of two centuries during which Athens experienced dramatic expansions and contractions of its population.
    • 2013, Alan H. Sommerstein, Andrew James Bayliss, Oath and State in Ancient Greece, →ISBN, page 41:
      The fact that the Ath.Pol. (22.2-3) states that the original bouleutic oath instituted in the archonship of Hermocreon (502/1 BC?) was “still in use” in the fourth century would appear to clash with the new clauses that were added to the oath throughout the fifth century.
