κληροῦνται δὲ καὶ ἀγορανόμοι ι#, πέντε μὲν εἰς Πειραιέα, ε# δ᾽ εἰς ἄστυ. τούτοις δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν νόμων προστέτακται τῶν ὠνίων ἐπιμελεῖσθαι πάντων, ὅπως καθαρὰ καὶ ἀκίβδηλα πωλήσεται. [2] κληροῦνται δὲ καὶ μετρονόμοι ι#, πέντε μὲν εἰς ἄστυ, ε# δὲ εἰς Πειραιέα. καὶ οὗτοι τῶν μέτρων καὶ τῶν σταθμῶν ἐπιμελοῦνται πάντων, ὅπως οἱ πωλοῦντες χρήσονται δικαίοις. [3] ἦσαν δὲ καὶ σιτοφύλακες κληρωτοὶ ι#, πέντε μὲν εἰς Πειραιέα, πέντε δ᾽ εἰς ἄστυ, νῦν δ᾽ εἴκοσι μὲν εἰς ἄστυ, πεντεκαίδεκα δ᾽ εἰς Πειραιέα. οὗτοι δ᾽ ἐπιμελοῦνται, πρῶτον μὲν ὅπως ὁ ἐν ἀγορᾷ σῖτος ἀργὸς ὤνιος ἔσται δικαίως, ἔπειθ᾽ ὅπως οἵ τε μυλωθροὶ πρὸς τὰς τιμὰς τῶν κριθῶν τὰ ἄλφιτα πωλήσουσιν, καὶ οἱ ἀρτοπῶλαι πρὸς τὰς τιμὰς τῶν πυρῶν τοὺς ἄρτους, καὶ τὸν σταθμὸν ἄγοντας ὅσον ἂν οὗτοι τάξωσιν. ὁ γὰρ νόμος τούτους κελεύει τάττειν. [4] ἐμπορίου δ᾽ ἐπιμελητὰς δέκα κληροῦσιν: τούτοις δὲ προστέτακται τῶν τ᾽ ἐμπορίων ἐπιμελεῖσθαι, καὶ τοῦ σίτου τοῦ καταπλέοντος εἰς τὸ σιτικὸν ἐμπόριον τὰ δύο μέρη τοὺς ἐμπόρους ἀναγκάζειν εἰς τὸ ἄστυ κομίζειν.
