<p>[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 4491634, member: 99456"]Sorry for not responding sooner, I am just noticing your post today. I believe that Strabo was the source for Montesquieu - here's at least one reference <a href="https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Strabo/14C*.html#p313" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Strabo/14C*.html#p313" rel="nofollow">Geography XIV.3.3</a>. Related you may enjoy this paper: Wolfe, C. (1977). The Confederate Republic in Montesquieu. <i>Polity,</i> <i>9</i>(4), 427-445.</p><blockquote><p><font size="4">"As it turns out, Strabo, Montesquieu's source on Lycia, probably does not say that the common council names the magistrates and judges of the cities. He says "thus judges and magistrates are elected according to the proportion of the number of votes belonging to each city." Previously, however, he had referred to election by the common council of the "lyciarch" and "other officers of the body" (that is, of the common council), and of "public tribunals," appointed for the administration of justice. The reference to the election of magistrates and judges, then, would seem to refer to those of the confederation, not of the members, and is repeated only to specify that the voting proportion is the same. Either Montesquieu misread Strabo, or he deliberately misstated him for a purpose."</font></p><p><font size="4">- <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/3234324?seq=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/3234324?seq=1" rel="nofollow">Wolfe (1977) p.433</a></font></p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
