ref: 2002, Margaret L. Paxson, “Social Organization and the Metaphysics of Exchange”, in David J. O'Brien, Stephen K. Wegren, editors, Rural Reform in Post-Soviet Russia, Woodrow Wilson Center Press, page 150:
text: What is striking in the innovations of both Solon and Cleisthenes is the establishment of a governing body that was suprafamilial, in which the members of the council functioned as citizens—as representatives of the city-state (polis) as such—rather than as representatives of the family (oikos) or clan (genos).

text: While the Code does not apply to taxa above the family level, Corliss (1962a) argued that it is common sense to apply these principles at the suprafamilial level, and we have followed this recommendation. When a suprafamilial taxon has been simply transferred within a higher taxon or between higher taxa, even if it has changed its rank, we have retained the priority date from the original publication along with the original authorship. This promotes stability and recognizes priority.
