Put it thus. Of
aliens there are exempt—I will assume ten. And by Heaven, as I said
before, I do not believe there are five. Moreover of the citizens there are not
half a dozen. Sixteen of both, then. Let us call it twenty, or thirty, if you
like. How many, pray, are there that annually perform the regularly recurring
services—chorus-masters, presidents of gymnasia, and public hosts?
Perhaps sixty in all, or a trifle more.
