Translation
[Meaning a] bringing-together of a crowd.1
Aristophanes in Wealth [writes]: "is an assembly not happening because of wealth?"2 For we assemble wishing either to preserve something of our own or to appropriate something belonging to others. But he is criticizing the three-obol payment because of the litigiousness of the Athenians.3
