Among the Greeks the curiae are called phratriae and phatriae in other words associations, brotherhoods unions, guilds from the fact that men of the same phratry phrased or revealed to one another their own intentions without scruple or fear. Hence fathers or kinsmen or teachers are phrators, those who share in the same phratry.
As the Dorians were divided into three tribes, so the Ionians were usually distributed into four tribes. Each tribe contained three Phratriae, each Phratry thirty Gentes, and each Gens thirty heads of families.
