[6] But they were hard pressed in a war with the Arcadians and lost a portion of their territory, along with all the demes [ dēmoi] included in the surrendered district, and so the number of tribes [ phulai] was reduced to eight in the hundred and fourth Olympiad. Thereupon were chosen umpires equal in number to the tribes [ phulai]. At the hundred and eighth Festival, they returned again to the number of ten umpires, which has continued unchanged down to the present day.
