Possession was not the only condition of franchise, but loyalty to the system was one as well. It is clear, however, from Xenophon's Hellenica that the 300 hippeis were not included in that number. Thus the leadership structure during the time of the thirty would be 3000 hoplites, 300 hippeis and 30 leaders
