Ps. Xenophon (Old Oligarch) Constitution of the Athenians, 1.9

 

“(First, you will note that) Men who are most able make laws for themselves.”

 

πρῶτα μὲν ὄψει τοὺς δεξιωτάτους αὐτοῖς τοὺς νόμους τιθέντας·

 

This is from the Athenaion Politeia (“Constitution of the Athenians”), which may or may not be by Aristotle but is certainly not by Xenophon.

Got it?
