τὸ τῆς πόλεως ὅλης κτἑ: cp. N. C. 37 φιλεῖ τὸ πλῆθος ἐν τούτοις τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασι τὸν βίον διάγειν ἐν οἷς ἂν τοὺς ἄρχοντας τοὺς αὑτῶν ὁρῶσι διατρίβοντας, and Cic. Ep. Fam. i. 9. 12 “quales in republica principes essent, tales reliquos solere esse ciues”, and Liv. i. 21 “ipsi se homines in regis, uel unici exempli, mores formarent.”
ὁμοιοῦται τοῖς ἄρχουσι: i.e. τῷ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἤθει; see note on E. 34 πρὸς ἕκαστον αὐτῶν.
σημεῖον δ᾽ ἔστω κτἑ: cp. Cic. ad Att. viii. 11 “moderatori rei publicae beata ciuium uita proposita est, ut opibus firma, copiis locuples, gloria ampla, uirtute honesta sit.”
εὐπορωτέρους, ‘more prosperous,’ as in Phil. 103 τὸν εὐπορώτατον τῶν νῦν περὶ τὴν ἤπειρον. Isocr. when he uses this word in the sense of ‘rich’ usually qualifies it, e.g. εὐπορώτερος τὰ περὶ τὸν βίον (de Pace 19); Demosthenes uses it, without qualification, e.g. Olynth. i. 28 τοὺς εὐπόρους, ‘the wealthy classes.’
