2 Herod. I. 65. Concerning the expression κόσμος, with regard to the
constitution of Sparta, see also Clearchus ap. Athen. XV. p. 681 C.
3 Pausan. III. 16. 5. See above, vol. I. p. 69, note g.
4 That is, of the Pythagorean philosophy. See below, ch. 9. § 16.
5 Thucyd. II. 11. cf. I. 70. 71. Athen. XIV. p. 624 C. &c.
6 Plat. Protag. p. 342 C. Xenoph. Rep. Lac. 14, 4. Plutarch. Inst.
Lac. p. 252. and particularly Isocrat. Busir. p. 225 A. The Spartans
were ἐνδημότατοι, according to Thucyd. I. 70. See below, ch. 11. §
7.
7 From Thucyd. I. 144. compared with Plutarch’s Life of Agis, it may
be seen that the ξενηλασία was only practised against tribes of
different usages, particularly Athenians and Ionians. See Valer.
Max. II. 6. ext. 1. Yet at the Gymnopædia (Plut. Ages. 29. cf.
Cimon. 10. Xenoph. Mem. Socrat. I. 2. 61.) and other festivals,
Sparta was full of foreigners, Cragius de Rep. Lac. III. p. 213.
Poets, such as Thaletas, Terpander, Nymphæus of Cydonia, Theognis
(who celebrates his hospitable reception in the ἀγλαὸν ἄστυ, v.
785.); philosophers, such as Pherecydes and Anaximander and
Anacharsis the Scythian, were willingly admitted; other classes of
persons were excluded. Thus there were regulations concerning
persons, and the time of admitting foreigners: and hence the earlier
writers, such as Thucydides, Xenophon, and Aristotle, always speak
of ξενηλασίαι in the plural number. (Compare Plut. Inst. Lac. 20.)
See also Plut. Lyc. 27. who refers to Thuc. II. 24. Aristoph. Av.
1013. and the Scholiast (from Theopompus), and Schol. Pac. 622.
Suid. in διειρωνόξενοι and ξενηλατεῖν, who, as usual, has copied
from the Scholiast to Aristophanes, that the Xenelasia was
introduced ποτὲ ΣΠΟΔΙΑΣ γενομένης, for which we should clearly write
ΣΙΤΟΔΕΙΑΣ. Theophil. Instit. I. tit. 2. Comp. de la Nauze Mem. de
l’Acad. des Inscript. tom. XII. p. 159. It may be added that the
numerous ξενίαι and προξενίαι, the hospitable connexions of states
and individuals, served to alleviate the harshness of the
institution. Thus the Lacedæmonians were connected with the
Pisistratidæ (vol. I. p. 188, note c), and with the family of
Callias (Xen. Symp. 8. 39); Endius with Clinias, the father of
Alcibiades (Thuc. VIII. 6); king Archidamus with Pericles (ib. II.
13); Xenias the Elean with king Agis, the son of Archidamus, and the
state of Sparta. (Paus. III. 8.
