Translation:
A particular official position in Athens has this name. This man is one of the nine archons. Amongst the duties of this man is the introduction of lawsuits, those for neglect of a patron [sc. by a freedman], and [sc. a metic] having no patron,[1] and cases of estates and heiresses where metics are involved; and whatever else the archon does for citizens, the polemarch does for metics. There is also a proper name [Polemarchos], the brother of Lysias.[2]

Abridged from Harpokration s.v., glossing in the first instance Isaeus fr. 4 Sauppe but going on to give some of the information also given here (drawn principally from the Aristotelian Athenaion Politeia: 58.3).
