Notes on the current edition

Instituta Laconica

1. There are many references to the studied isolation of the early Spartans. The most important are Plutarch’s Life of Lycurgus, chap. xxvii. (56 c), and the Life of Agis, chap. x. (799 d); Xenophon, Constitution of Sparta, 14. 4; Aristophanes, Birds, 1012; Aristotle, Frag. 543 (ed. Rose). Cf. also the note on Moralia, 237 a, supra, and the references given in the Teubner ed. of Plutarch’s Lives (1926), iii. 2, p. 45 ( Lycurgus, chap. xxvii.).
