Note ‘Parthos’; it took some courage to write that after Crassus and Antony. Servituti nata is merely taken from Aristotle, Pol. III, 14, 1285 a l. 21 (cf. I, 2, 1252 b l. 9), Asiatics are slaves by nature; written before Alexander. - [Previous: c9.s2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c9.s2.4) - [Next: c9.s2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c9.s2.6) - [Up: c9.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c9.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c9.s2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c9.s2.5) · Pramāṇa
