Resumo:ENG: In this paper, the intention is to discuss the socio-economic status of the third census class, the zeugitai (small and middling peasants vs. farmers belonging to the leisure class), in the light of the organisation of the Solonian fiscal system. Particularly useful for this purpose is the analysis of an anecdotal passage concerning Peisistratus and a taxpaying Attic peasant of modest means. This is followed by some brief reflections on the subsequent fifth-century eisphora in both the Athenian cleruchies/colonies and Athens itself as of 428, during and after the Peloponnesian War
