  Bryn Mawr Classical Review 99.03.13
Agyrrhius, as a man involved in tax-collecting in 402-400, is an appropriate man to have proposed this law.
The law lays down arrangements for the farming of the tax of one twelfth (though arithmetically correct it is psychologically misleading of Stroud to render this as 8 1/3 %) of the grain of Lemnos, Imbros and Scyros, and of a separate tax of one fiftieth.
It significantly extends the career of the proposer, Agyrrhius, since previously all that was known after his generalship of c.

 The Ecclesiazusae: Praxagora's Monologue
It is hard to correct your peevish humour; you fear those who love you and throw yourselves at the feet of those who betray you.
There was a time when we had no assemblies, and then we all thought Agyrrhius a dishonest man; now they are established, he who gets money thinks everything is as it should be, and he who does not, declares all who sell their votes to be worthy of death.
When we were discussing the alliance, it seemed as though it were all over with Athens if it fell through.

Sections 132-139 We will not be covering these sections in the notes.
Agyrrhius may have had a personal motive for his involvement on the prosecution side, since he had previously been involved in a squabble with Andocides at a tax-auction (referred to in secs.
Andocides argues that since the gods saved him from the perils of the sea, they would be extremely angry if he now fell victim to the ill-will and machinations of his accusers.

 Aristophanes
The women, disguised as men, steal into the ecclesia, and succeed in decreeing a new constitution.
At this time the demagogue Agyrrhius led the assembly; and the play is, in fact, a satire on the general demoralization of public life.
The first edition of the play had appeared in 408 BC, being a symbolical representation of the fact that the victories won by Alcibiades in the Hellespont had brought back the god of wealth to the treasure chamber of the Parthenon.

 Law and Economy in Classical Athens: [Demosthenes], “Against Dionysodorus”
Should the borrower have to pay additional interest or was it unfair for the borrower to shoulder all the losses caused by the unforeseen circumstances?
The Athenians were certainly familiar with the practice of allocating risk; for instance, in the law of Agyrrhius discussed in Part 1.6, one clause stipulates that the men who collected the dodekate had to take the entire risk of loss during transport of the grain to Athens (lines 11-15).
In the private contract drawn up by Dareius and Dionysodorus, however, this question was not addressed.

How can we fail then to be mistaken for men?
Agyrrhius has deceived everyone, thanks to the beard of Pronomus; yet he was no better than a woman, and you see how he now holds the first position in the city.
Thus, I adjure you by this day that is about to dawn, let us dare to copy him and let us be clever enough to possess ourselves of the management of affairs.
