Abstract
Comparison of passages in Aristophanes, Xenophon and Demosthenes suggests that (Greek Passage) (literally "marketplaces") and (Greek Passage) (literally "harbors") should be recognized as 5th- and 4th-century Athenian idioms referring to state revenues generated by the sale of the right to collect taxes from such sources.
