What offices there are is an information concerning the Who? of the Curia, which is why it is in Section I together with Citizens. How elections work is a question of the What? and How? of the Curia, which is why it is in Section II together with the forum description and resolutions.
Section III is not about subforums but about everything that concerns disciplinary measures, nowadays only Ostraka and Magistrates. All subforums are listed in section II, article I together with the general explanation of the Curia forum.

We've given the thing several makeovers in the past years and have at least turned it from an unintelligible conundrum to a moderately readable document with as little pseudo-legalese as possible. Of course one can always tweak this or polish that sentence, but in general I don't believe the content to be covered allows for an even more simplified document.
