Vetting Status: high
Translation:

4 income-ratings were created at Athens by Solon: Pentakosiomedimnoi ['Five-Hundred-Bushel Men'], Hippeis, Zeugitai, Thetes.

Greek Original:

*)ek timhma/twn: d# *)aqh/nhsi timh/mata u(po\ *so/lwnos ge/gone, *pentakosiomedi/mnwn, *(ippe/wn, *zeugitw=n, *qhtw=n.

Notes:

Same entry in Photius; similar (shorter) one in Hesychius.
The headword-phrase, e)k timhma/twn, occurs in e.g. Xenophon, Memorabilia 4.6.12, in a general definition of the governing principles of plutocratic (or oligarchic) constitutions. In an Athenian context the more usual idiom would be a)po\ timh/matwn or the singular a)po\ timh/matos. See also Plato, Republic 8.553A, Laws 3.698B.
For Solon see generally sigma 776, sigma 777, sigma 779. For timema in other senses see tau 606, tau 607, tau 608.
