Moreover, the governors appointed to preside over these two
departments of state are not one and the same. But one class governs
the inhabitants proper including the workers of the soil, and collects
the tribute from them, another is in command of the armed garrisons.
If the commandant[9] protects the country insufficiently, the civil
governor of the population, who is in charge also of the productive
works, lodges accusation against the commandant to the effect that the

the military governor, the civil authority still presents a territory
sparse in population and untilled, it is the commandant's turn to
accuse the civil ruler. For you may take it as a rule, a population
tilling their territory badly will fail to support their garrisons and
be quite unequal to paying their tribute. Where a satrap is appointed
he has charge of both departments.[10]
