If you deal with them as one you will altogether miss the mark, but if you treat them as a multiplicity by offering to the one faction the property, the power, the very persons of the other, you will continue always to have few enemies and many allies. And so long as your city is governed soberly in the order just laid down, it will be the greatest of cities.

In Italy and Spain, ancient and modern, wine-jars are rubbed with wax to render them impervious to liquids. Among the early instances of glazing may be mentioned the tomb of Sultan Mohammed Khoda-Bendeh, at Sultanieh in Persia. He was the 12th prince of the house of Genghis Khan, and died in 1316. The tomb has green enameled tiles on the outside and blue on the inside. The painted mosque of Gour in India, built in 1475, derives its name from the number of glazed tiles with which it is ornamented. The Caravanserai of Mayar, near Ispahan, built by the mother of Shah Abbas, about 1550, has a covering of green glazed tiles on the front of the principal gateway.

He is certainly wrong, for the decree is dated December 11, 1316. Foscolo places it in 1316, Troya early in 1317, and both may be right, as the year began March 25.
