Translation
[Bouleuma means] the personal [kind of decision/resolution]. But boulêma [is] the public [kind].1 Aristophanes in Wealth [writes]: "desiring this then, we had difficulty in finding a boulema that would be good and noble and useful for every task."2

Βούλευμα· τὸ ἴδιον. Βούλημα δὲ τὸ δημόσιον. Ἀριστοφάνης Πλούτῳ· τοῦτ' οὖν ἡμεῖς ἐπιθυμοῦντες, μόλις εὕρομεν ὥστε γενέσθαι βούλημα καλὸν καὶ γενναῖον καὶ χρήσιμον εἰς ἅπαν ἔργον.
