PLO U TA R CH O S, n . s ., 1 (2003/2004) 97-106. 98 Emilio Suärez de la Torre measures and the new currency values)3. However, as some scholars have rightly argued4, Androtion’s opinion seems a deliberate reinterpretation of this meas­ ure in a period when χρεών αποκοπή was a synonym for a revolutionary proce­ dure. In the following chapter5 Plutarch explains that, after a first period of incom­ prehension and hostility towards the laws, the citizens realized that they were very positive and eventually, in order to sanc­ tion the validity of the reforms, they cel­ ebrated a common sacrifice that was called also σεισάχθεια. Surprisingly, Aristotle seems not to credit Solon with the invention of the word, as it could be deduced from the plural καλοϋσιν in his mention of this measure6. At least, this Aristotelian passage casts doubts about the presence of the word in the Solonian poems7. On the other side, it has been argued recently that the word occurred in a poem written in iambic trimeters8, what is far from having been demonstrated9. From my point of view, it is quite rea­ sonable to think that a compound like σεισάχθεια comes either from a poetic context or, at least, from a text composed according to quite refined criteria of word selection. Aristotle confirms only that the name became usual and even popular, but his assessment does not pre­ clude the Solonian paternity. Moreover, the second occurrence of the name in Aristotle10 seems to support the poetic context11. Alternatively, a solid possiOn the problem of the actual scope and details of the σεισάχθεια see the commentary by Manfredini Piccirilli (19985), 186-99. The testimonia on the σεισάχθεια can be found collected in Martina (1968), n. 274-96 (pp. 141-6). From now on I will quote these testimonia according to Martina’s numbering preceded by ‘Τ’.
