However, some scholars interpret the complete titles into '''1.''' ''Opinions of The Citizens of The Virtuous City;'' '''2.''' ''Principles of the Opinions of the Citizens of the Virtuous City''. Note that synonym(s) might be utilized as well (e.g., ''Ideal City,'' for ''Ideal State;'' or ''People,'' ''Inhabitants,'' for ''Citizens,'' [[Et cetera|etc.]]).
